Wastewater Treatment Plant
Sewage arrives at treatment facilities through our wastewater collection system, to be cleaned.
The Kelly Lake wastewater treatment plant receives sewage from areas of Garson to Copper Cliff, while Greater Sudbury community's direct wastewater to an additional 9 wastewater plants and two wastewater lagoons for treatment.
The Kelly Lake Wastewater Treatment Steps
The wastewater treatment process of the Kelly Lake plant consists of a pre-treatment process, a primary treatment process and a secondary treatment process, with the entire treatment process taking anywhere between 24–36 hours. Once the water arrives at the Kelly Lake facility, the water must be raised 30 meters to the ground surface using a lift station where it undergoes many treatment steps.
