NIAGARA REGION

Growth is essential for any region to thrive . But by mid- 2005 , growth surrounding the municipality of Niagara-on-the- Lake had started to slow down . One key factor was a wastewater treatment plant that had begun to reach full capacity , thus reducing its ability to effectively and sustainably serve Niagara-on-the-Lake ’ s growing population .
For the community to continue to thrive , the Niagara Region saw that change was imperative . Now that change is underway , with the construction of a new wastewater treatment plant for
Niagara-on-the-Lake . This $ 43.2 million infrastructure project , under construction 800 meters west of the existing facility , promises to increase treatment capacity by 40 per cent , reduce problematic noise and odours , and go further to preserve the environment of Niagara and Lake Ontario . With the support of the Canadian and Ontario governments , the new facility pledges to provide a better level of service for the residents of Niagara .
