WWT Plant, Area G (Morice Valley/Babine Valley), British Columbia | Secondary Wastewater Treatment

WWT Plant is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Area G (Morice Valley/Babine Valley) within the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako, British Columbia, Canada. The plant serves a small population of 139 residents and operates under secondary treatment standards. As a secondary treatment plant, WWT Plant provides biological treatment to reduce organic matter and suspended solids, meeting Canadian federal and provincial wastewater regulations. The plant's discharge volume of 207.00 cubic meters reflects its small scale, and it is subject to British Columbia's Municipal Wastewater Regulation under the Environmental Management Act. The plant discharges treated effluent into the Fulton River, which flows through the Bulkley Valley region. This river is part of the larger Skeena River watershed, ultimately draining into the Pacific Ocean. The surrounding area supports diverse aquatic life, including salmonid species, making proper treatment essential for ecosystem health.
