Husky Sunrise WWTP - Secondary Treatment Plant in Calgary, Alberta

Husky Sunrise WWTP is a secondary treatment plant located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It serves a small population of 207 people, reflecting its role as a local facility within the broader municipal wastewater infrastructure of the region. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under Canadian federal and provincial regulations for wastewater facilities of this scale. The plant operates under Alberta's Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, which governs discharge quality and monitoring. The treated effluent is discharged into the Elbow River, a tributary of the Bow River. The Bow River flows into the South Saskatchewan River, eventually reaching Hudson Bay via the Nelson River system. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for recreational and ecological uses in the Calgary area.

The plant discharges into the Elbow River, which joins the Bow River downstream. The Bow River is a key water source for Calgary and flows into the South Saskatchewan River, ultimately draining into Hudson Bay. The watershed supports fish species such as rainbow trout and brown trout, and the river system is ecologically sensitive to nutrient loading and contaminants from urban runoff and wastewater.
