The facility serves a small community of approximately 1,103 residents and is designed with a capacity of 1.00 million liters per day. It is situated within 50 kilometers of the coast, reflecting its proximity to Lake Superior.

For small agglomerations like this, typical treatment involves secondary processes such as lagoons or activated sludge to meet effluent standards. The plant's operational status indicates it is actively managing wastewater for the community. The treated effluent from Schreiber WPCP is discharged into the Lake Superior watershed, the largest of the Great Lakes. This water body supports diverse aquatic life and is a critical freshwater resource. The plant's operations are important for protecting local water quality and the downstream ecosystem of Lake Superior.

Schreiber WPCP discharges into the Lake Superior basin, which drains through the St. Marys River, Lake Huron, and the St. Lawrence River to the Atlantic Ocean. Lake Superior is a cold, oligotrophic lake with sensitive aquatic habitats, including spawning grounds for lake trout and whitefish. The plant's location near the lake's north shore requires careful management to prevent nutrient loading and protect water quality.
