What This Project Is All About
We’re rehabilitating the Currie's Sewage Treatment Wetlands to improve environmental outcomes and support a healthier local ecosystem. This staged project will clean, rejuvenate and replant the wetland ponds to restore their natural treatment function and support the Currie community and environment long-term.

disruption; no changes to your water or sewer services.
Why Wetland Rehabilitation Matters
Wetlands play a vital role in keeping our water clean. At Currie, the wetlands help treat wastewater by slowing it down and allowing plants and soil to naturally remove nutrients.
But over time, if wetlands are affected by increased flow, sludge build-up, and overgrown vegetation. When wetlands are overwhelmed, they can’t do their job properly — putting the local environment at risk.
By cleaning, restoring, and replanting the ponds, we’re helping the wetlands bounce back to full health, so they can support our environment and community for years to come.
