It serves a population of about 8,006 people in the Restigouche County region. The plant is operational and plays a key role in managing wastewater for this community on the Bay of Chaleurs coast. As a Canadian facility, the plant operates under provincial and federal regulations, including the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and the Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations (WSER). These regulations set national standards for effluent quality, requiring secondary treatment or equivalent for facilities serving populations over 5,000. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 million liters per day, indicating it is sized for the local population. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into the Restigouche River watershed, which flows into the Baie des Chaleurs, part of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. This water body supports diverse aquatic life, including Atlantic salmon and other migratory fish species. The plant's operation helps protect the ecological health of the river and downstream marine environment.

The plant discharges into the Restigouche River, which flows into the Baie des Chaleurs, an arm of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. This watershed supports important fish habitats, including Atlantic salmon spawning grounds. The Baie des Chaleurs is a productive marine ecosystem that sustains local fisheries and migratory birds. Proper wastewater treatment is essential to maintain water quality and protect these ecological resources.
