Leamington Pollution Control Centre located at 435 Seacliff Drive East Leamington is for the treatment and disposal of sanitary sewage. It’s rated capacity of 41,560 m3/day and peak flow rate of 52,645 m3/day. This facility consists of two separate extended aeration plants with a single outfall to Lake Erie.

Construction of a new facility is well under way. Due to savings by constructing all 3 phases together and because of the Federal and Provincial funding, phases 3, 4 and 5 of the upgrades are being constructed as one project.

Phase 3 entails the preliminary designs of the entire new 35 MLD plant as well as the detail design and construction of two primary clarifiers, primary sludge pumping and chemical addition. Phase 3 also involves replacement of the existing preliminary headwork’s screen with two new screens and washing and compaction system, and construction of the second detritor.

Phase 4 of the upgrades entails the detail design and construction of the fine bubble aeration tanks, aeration systems, and blower building along with all associated ancillary equipment.
