The Cynthia Solar Aquatics System was designed and built for Brazeau County as a demonstration of an ecological technology to make wastewater into clean reclaimed water.  The reclaimed water had uses for irrigation with phosphorus and nitrates to add fertility and for fracking oil wells. The project was designed to process 80m3/day and to grow aquatic plants.  An upper catwalk was installed to access a future bioponics system to grow bedding plants.  Heating is achieved using a number of strategies: solar panels heat water for the building; a heat recovery ventilator recovers heat from outgoing moist air; a water cycles heat exchanger preheats incoming wastewater with heat from outgoing clean water; natural gas boiler is also in the system; in line fans were designed to circulate indoor warm air through tubing running in the soil below the main concrete slab. All slabs and floors have hydronic tubing to deliver heated water to provide radiant heating for the building.

The site was planted with an edible shelterbelt on a soil berm on the north side of the facility. A large fish pond and future community garden space was installed on the South side of the building.
