Station d'epuration Saint Canut - Mirabel, Quebec Wastewater Treatment Plant

Station d'epuration Saint Canut is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in the Saint-Canut sector of Mirabel, Quebec, Canada. The plant serves a population of about 11,533 residents and is part of the region's wastewater infrastructure managed under Quebec's environmental regulations. As a plant serving a medium-sized agglomeration, it is expected to meet secondary treatment standards under Canada's Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations (WSER), which set national effluent quality standards. The facility's operational status confirms it is actively treating wastewater from the community. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that drain into the Lake of Two Mountains and eventually the St. Lawrence River. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the Laurentides region.

The plant's treated effluent flows into the Lake of Two Mountains, a widening of the Ottawa River, which then joins the St. Lawrence River. The St. Lawrence River is a major waterway supporting diverse fish species and migratory birds. The area is ecologically sensitive due to its role in maintaining water quality for downstream communities and habitats.
