South Niagara Falls Wastewater Solutions

The South Niagara Falls Wastewater Treatment Plant and Wastewater System upgrades will accommodate future growth, meet the needs of current residents, mitigate flood risks and protect our Great Lakes.

This project represents one of the most significant Regional capital investments over the next 10 years. However, we cannot move forward without confirmation of external funding.

Niagara Region is asking the Federal and Provincial governments to match our investment for this critical infrastructure to support sustainable growth.

Let's build infrastructure that will generate sustainable communities.

Let’s grow better, together.

Niagara Week

During Niagara Week 2023, members of Regional Council discussed partnership opportunities for the South Niagara Falls Wastewater Solutions Project with:

• The Premier's Office
• Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing
• Ministry of Infrastructure
• Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks
• Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade

In addition to receiving a commitment, in principle, from the Premier for one-third funding for the project, all ministries were supportive of engaging in joint advocacy requesting that the Federal Government reintroduce a program to help fund one-third of the project.

The Region is continuing to move forward with Federal advocacy efforts, including pursuing opportunities through its representation on the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Board of Directors.
