1. Pumping water up from bottom of collection wells where the two major diverters come into the pumphouse up to the (centrifugal) pipe. (electricity (Sources)-pumps)

2. Water then passes along from pump house to canal 7 meters deep to first part of treatment.
Agglomeration additive is added.

3. Water is then screened or raked for large objects.
(removal of large objects-bikes, matresses, etc.)

4. Water then enters long rectangular pools which is being aerated for removal of sand and grit and for keeping organics floating. The majority  of sand and grit is being removed by pumping sand and grit water to a sluice runoff to go to a sludge tank which is cleaned every week.
    The organics remain floating in the water and as they enter at end of first rectangular tank a ploymer is added to the water.

5. The water entering the large square pools have had a polymer added so that the floating biological matter attaches itself to the polymer. The result can be seen floating in the water as though it were shreds of rags.

6. The water is now in large square like pools which are meant to be calm. There is a skimmer which travels over the pools slowly collecting the flatsom on top of the pool and another skimmer within the pool collecting the buyont and sunken materials. These are skimmed off to one side of the pool where they are pumped off to 4 huge sludge container tanks. The remaining water is then pumped back into the St. Lawrence river with most of the inorganic and organic waster removed.

7. At the 4 huge sludge container tanks the sludge is heated and evaporated until dry and then burnt in 4 large incinerators. The residue which is biologically dead or inert goes to a landfill which still has capacity for another 192 years.
