Take a look inside our wastewater treatment plant
Every day we use water to flush toilets, take showers, brush our teeth, clean our clothes and wash the dishes. Do you know what happens to that water after it is flushed down the toilet or goes down a drain?
It goes to one of the Region of Waterloo’s wastewater treatment plants! Our wastewater team is an important part of the Region of Waterloo’s water cycle. It begins with how you use water in your home and ends up in the Grand River.
