Treated wastewater to be released from Stoney Point facility
Treated wastewater will be released from the Stoney Point Sewage Treatment Facility on Thursday. It is located south of the Tremblay Beach Conservation area.
The Municipality of Lakeshore said area residents may notice a sewage smell in the area.
The treatment and release will last 14 days, including weekends, a news release outlined.
“The water will be tested prior to and during release to ensure it meets standards set by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks,” said the municipality. “The water is discharged through a series of local drains, ultimately into Lake St. Clair.”
The municipality told CTV News Windsor that the release is a routine part of operating waste water lagoons.
"When the lagoons reach their high-level limits, treated waste water is released to prevent the overflow of untreated waste water," it said.
There should be no effect on residents in the area, other than a potential odour. Municipal drinking water systems will not be affected.
Problems can be reported to Lakeshore’s Public Service Unit at 519-728-2700, extension 0, or emailed to publicservice@lakeshore.ca. Problems can also be reported here.
