Water & Waste Water
The Municipality of North Grenville Public Works Department operates a state-of-the-art waste water treatment plant (NG-WWTP) that serves the historic Town of Kemptville as well as newer urban development within the extended service area
The plant was constructed and commissioned in the 1990's and represents the newest in technological advancements as applied the standard sludge digestion processes

The NG-WWTP uses standard aerobic / anaerobic digestion based processes with final effluent being subjected to UV treatment (Ministry of the Environment Level 4 Assessment) before discharging cleaned waters in the Rideau River some three kilometers away. The plants average day capacity is established at approximately 4500 cubic meters per day (average flow), and currently operates below legislated capacity. In general, the plant operates very well with no occurrence's of sewage by-pass since coming into operation in 1995/96.
The NG-WWTP has a program of fertilizing and soil conditioning local lands with sludge by-product that is available to qualified agricultural operations within the Township borders. Those interested in participating in such programs are encouraged to call the plant at 258-7400. Sludge produced at this plant has a very high water content and is fully digested, having only a very limited smell during or immediately after application. Those with questions should call the plant operator to talk about the service.
