Dec 8, 2025 - Mar 31, 2029

Description:

The Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems Project in Curve Lake First Nation, Ontario aims to install up to three decentralised wastewater treatment systems using Miranda’s Rotating Biological Contactor technology. This initiative addresses urgent wastewater management needs, while supporting the community's growing infrastructure, in a sustainable manner. The systems will serve key areas, including community facilities, residential zones, a new police station, greenhouses, and a new housing subdivision (enabling up to 70 new housing units). These systems will replace traditional septic fields, offering high-efficiency treatment with a smaller environmental footprint. The project will deliver immediate improvements, cost savings, and environmental benefits to the community. They will also ensure reliable wastewater treatment for current and future needs, enhancing community infrastructure and sustainability.
