It serves a population of 232 and operates under secondary treatment, a standard level for small communities in the province.

The plant discharges an average of 104.00 cubic meters of treated wastewater per day, reflecting its small scale. The treated effluent enters the local watershed, which drains into the Credit River and eventually Lake Ontario. This contributes to the health of the Great Lakes ecosystem, supporting aquatic life and recreational water uses downstream.

The plant's discharge flows into the Credit River watershed, which empties into Lake Ontario, part of the Great Lakes system. This region supports diverse fish species and migratory birds. Protecting water quality here is vital for downstream ecosystems and drinking water sources for millions.
