Station d epuration des eaux usees is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Boisbriand, Quebec, Canada. Situated in the Laurentides region, the plant serves a population of approximately 37,645 residents, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under Canadian wastewater management standards. As a facility in Quebec, the plant operates under the provincial Reglement sur l'evacuation et le traitement des eaux usees and the federal Canadian Environmental Protection Act. The plant's operational status is confirmed as active. The plant discharges treated effluent into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the St. Lawrence River via the Mille-Îles River or similar tributaries. This river system supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the region. The plant's location inland, more than 50 km from the coast, reduces direct marine impact.

The plant's treated effluent flows into the Mille-Îles River, a tributary of the St. Lawrence River, which is one of the largest river systems in North America. The St. Lawrence River supports a rich ecosystem, including fish species such as sturgeon and walleye, and provides critical habitat for migratory birds. The watershed is ecologically sensitive due to its role in connecting the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean.
