Bayfield's newly expanded Wastewater Treatment Plant.
A nearly two-year expansion of Bayfield’s Wastewater Treatment Plant is almost complete.
The Municipality of Bluewater says the expansion project began in November of 2024, and received an $8 million grant from the province.
Expanding wastewater capacity in Bayfield involved the installation of a treatment plant at the Bayfield Lagoons.
Prior to completion of the expansion project, the Bayfield Wastewater Treatment Facility was operating over its rated capacity, officials say.
Bluewater officials say that capacity limited growth in the Bayfield settlement area.
