Cleaner Rivers & Lakes
Making improvements to this public utility will protect and enhance vital services for current and future generations. Included are upgrades to north and south end City sewage treatment plants which will:
- Significantly reduce the load of harmful phosphorous and nitrogen in Winnipeg sewage effluent
- Help clean up our rivers
- Allow Winnipeg to do its part to reduce the growth of algae that chokes Lake Winnipeg each summer
- Reduce combined sewer overflows to our rivers
