The project, valued at approximately $10 million to the Oakville-based company, is expected to be complete in August. "This will be the largest membrane wastewater treatment plant in the world," said Andrew Benedek, Chairman and Cheif Executive Officer of ZENON Environmental Inc., "and will be an important reference site for us in Europe." "The order comes after the successful operation of a smaller leachate plant ZENON has had for the same cus tomer for the last two years," said Benedek. In an effort to control environmental pollution, the European Union is currently working on new directives for improved treatment of municipal sewage in its member commnuities. In view of these future regulations, this Italian communi ty has taken direct action by selecting the ZenoGem system, which uses ZENON's unique Zee Weed membrances to filter water. Once built, the ZenoGem bioreactor will treat nearly 10 million gallons of wastewater per day and allow the com munity to safely discharge to treated water back into the environment. This patented technology draws clean water to the inside of the hollow membrane fibre, leaving impurities behind and producing superior water quality. ZENON is a world leader in providing advanced mem brane products and services for water purification, waste water treatment and water reuse. I d^ ® n "* a' ; y j ^ Photo by Peter C.

Lexus o f Oakville -- one of six new, exclusively Lexus dealerships set to be built in Canada -- is now under construction on Wyecroft Road, just east of Bronte Road. The new car dealership -- offering Toyota's high-end products -- is expected to open this fall. "It's among the first stand-alone Lexus dealerships in all of Canada," said its new president and general manager Frank Apa who currently heads Oakville Toyota. To date, Lexus vehicles have been sold from combined Toyota-Lexus dealerships. Until now, local luxury car buyers with at least $40,000 to spend had to look to Mississauga or St. Catharines if they were looking to buy a Lexus, said Apa. Shovels went into the ground last week for the Oakville venture which Apa said rep resents a "bold, new concept" for Lexus. It's among three in Ontario; the remain der of the trio are slated to open in Bramalea and Richmond Hill. Country-wide, the remaining trio of the six new, stand-alone Lexus dealerships will include two in the Vancouver area and one in Montreal. The new dealership is being located in Oakville's west end because if you're look ing for a luxury car here in town, the west end in the place to be, said Apa. The Lexus venture will take its place in roughly the same neighbourhood as Jaguar, Volvo and BMW. Oakville has a strong representation in the luxury car market and Lexus hopes to service that market, said Apa. "Our franchise will service the Oakville/Burlington markets," he said. The job will be tackled on a two-acre site on the northeast corner of Wyecroft Road -- and in a 16,000-sq. ft., state-of-the-art facili ty From its luxurious Lexus lounge, to a seven-car showroom and two-bay customer service area, this dealership will have it all. "Customers will be taking delivery from inside the showroom," said Apa, admitting it's not only good business sense but makes a customer feel pretty important, too. The new dealership has been designed by R.H. Carter Architects. Circon Contracting is doing the construction work. Apa will function as the new dealership's president and general manager and has invested along with his partner, Joe Zanchin. Nello Basso will serve as vice-president. Oakville Toyota has been in Oakville since 1973. Apa has been at its helm since 1991. "Our outstanding level of service is one of the main reasons Lexus appointed us to represent them in this very prestigious mar ket," said Apa. The new Lexus dealership will have an entire range of the luxury Lexus vehicles available from the model that starts at $40,000 to the coupe which has already soldout for this year and a new wagon-style vehi cle due out next fall.
