Staff are finalizing the operating plan for the temporary side stream treatment at Mannheim. This includes refining details such as how often the filters will need to be cleaned (backwashed) and how much water will be sent to waste as a result.

Construction crews began excavating at the Mannheim water treatment plant last week to prepare for the concrete pad and supports. 

A growth forecast that helps understand anticipated demands for new water supply shows the population in the Mannheim Service Area is estimated to grow by 34,500 by 2031.

The Region will expand water saving programs to help address the water capacity constraint. 

The rehabilitation of aging tanks at the Region’s oldest water treatment plant are complete as we continue to repair and modify key infrastructure.

As we work to get more water to the communities where growth is happening, our team has come up with a creative solution that helps us treat more water, faster. See how it works, and the progress we are making.

Next month, the Region will begin the design of a water treatment plant for the Maple Grove area of Cambridge that would add up to 42 L/s of new capacity. 

A solution that will bring up to 100 L/s of new water capacity online is getting underway. 

The Region will be updating the Policy and Procedures for Responding to Groundwater Interference Complaints, after hearing from residents.
