Wastewater Treatment and Collection Annual Performance Reports
Niagara Region is responsible for the collection and treatment of wastewater. This is essential to public health and the protection of the environment.
Wastewater services are delivered using a two-tier model.
- Local municipalities own and operate local gravity sewer mains
- Niagara Region owns and operates large gravity sewer trunk lines, most pumping station and forcemains, and all wastewater treatment facilities
Annual reports by wastewater treatment facility
