Introduction
Alberta's government takes a comprehensive approach to municipal wastewater management. Regulatory frameworks, standards and guidelines are designed to assure environmentally acceptable wastewater discharge and acceptable storm water management practices.
The Municipal Wastewater Program regulates wastewater treatment systems that are designed to treat more than 25 m3 of wastewater per day, or systems that discharge off the site of development. These systems service approximately 80% of the province's population.
