Paris Water Pollution Control Plant - Municipal Wastewater Treatment in Paris, Ontario

Paris Water Pollution Control Plant is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located at 120 Race Street in Paris, Ontario, Canada. It serves a population of approximately 8,506 residents in the Brant County area, operating as part of the region's water infrastructure. As a Canadian plant in Ontario, it operates under provincial regulations administered by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks. Facilities of this scale typically employ secondary treatment processes to meet effluent quality standards, with permits issued under the Ontario Water Resources Act. The plant discharges treated wastewater into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Grand River and then into Lake Erie. This contributes to the Great Lakes basin, supporting aquatic ecosystems and recreational water uses downstream.

The plant's treated effluent flows into the Grand River watershed, which empties into Lake Erie, part of the Great Lakes system. This region supports diverse aquatic life, including fish species such as walleye and smallmouth bass, and provides drinking water for downstream communities. The Grand River is an important migratory corridor for birds and supports wetlands that filter pollutants and provide habitat.
