Town Of Lemberg Wastewater Treatment Plant, Lemberg, Saskatchewan

Town Of Lemberg is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located on Highway 617 in Lemberg, Saskatchewan, within the rural municipality of McLeod No. 185. Serving a small population of 243, the plant provides secondary treatment to meet provincial discharge standards for inland communities. As a secondary treatment plant, it utilizes biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The plant discharges an average of 109.00 cubic meters of treated wastewater daily. The facility operates under Saskatchewan's Water Security Agency regulations, which require appropriate treatment for small communities to protect local water resources. The treated effluent is released into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Qu'Appelle River system and then into the Assiniboine River, a tributary of the Red River that flows into Lake Winnipeg. This connection highlights the plant's role in safeguarding downstream water quality in the Prairie region.

The plant discharges into the Qu'Appelle River basin, which flows eastward through Saskatchewan and Manitoba, eventually reaching Lake Winnipeg via the Assiniboine and Red Rivers. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional agriculture and recreation. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loading, which is critical for preventing eutrophication in downstream lakes.
