The Peterborough Wastewater Treatment Plant, operated by the city's Environmental Protection Division, is dedicated to effectively managing wastewater to protect the environment and public health. With a Class 4 conventional treatment plant and a comprehensive collection system, the facility treats an average of 80 mega litres of leachate annually and removes 7,000 tonnes of biosolids.
Staffed 24/7, the plant has undergone significant investment since its original construction in the 1920s, totaling over $200 million. In addition to its core operations, the plant offers a septage hauling program for residents not connected to the municipal sewage system, further demonstrating its commitment to environmental stewardship.
