The North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant is a new facility being built to replace and upgrade the existing Lions Gate Wastewater Treatment Plant on the North Shore from primary treatment to tertiary treatment. In 2019, the decision was made to move from secondary to tertiary treatment technology – a filtration system that removes additional substances from the treated wastewater. This technology only exceeds the federal regulatory requirements for treatment technology but will also ensure that the treated wastewater released into the marine environment will be much cleaner with fewer environmental effects.
