Village de Baker Brook Wastewater Treatment Plant - Paroisse de Baker Brook, New Brunswick

Village de Baker Brook wastewater treatment plant is located in Paroisse de Baker Brook, within the Haut-Madawaska region of New Brunswick, Canada. The plant serves a small community of 738 residents and operates under provincial and federal regulations for wastewater management. The facility provides secondary treatment, which is appropriate for its population scale. In Canada, secondary treatment is the standard for municipal wastewater to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The treated wastewater flows into local waterways that are part of the Saint John River basin, eventually reaching the Bay of Fundy. The plant plays a key role in protecting the aquatic ecosystem of the region by reducing pollutant loads before discharge.

The plant discharges into local streams that drain into the Saint John River, a major waterway in New Brunswick. The Saint John River flows into the Bay of Fundy, which is ecologically significant for its high tidal range and diverse marine life. The treatment plant helps protect downstream habitats, including fish spawning grounds and migratory bird routes.
