sewage system to the municipal sewage system and to discharge healthcare wastewater after adequate pre-treatment to municipal sewage if the municipal sewage treatment plant meets the following minimum requirements: –Use of primary, secondary and tertiary treatment –Removal of >95% of bacteria
Municipal wastewater is one of the largest sources of pollution, by volume, to surface water in Canada. Municipal wastewater normally receives treatment before being released into the environment. The higher the level of treatment provided by a wastewater treatment plant, the cleaner the effluent and the smaller the impact on the environment.

Wastewater Management: Northern Solutions for Northern
Background and Challenges. Effective wastewater treatment is fundamental for environmental and human health protection. In the North, this can be challenging: the extreme climate eliminates the possibility of using several systems that are common in southern Canada, and the remoteness of the region and lack of road access to many communities increase costs and make timely maintenance, repairs
