Managing liquid waste
Every day here in the Greater Vancouver area, we produce approximately one billion litres of wastewater - or liquid waste - simply by carrying out our daily activities. How we manage these liquid wastes has an effect on our environment and the livability of our region. If we don't take care to handle and treat the many pollutants generated by human activities, the quality of our surrounding environment will suffer.

Metro Vancouver's Role
Metro Vancouver operates and maintains the network of trunk sewers, pumping stations and wastewater treatment plants that connect with municipal sewer systems.
