Funding commitments for Phase 3 of Winnipeg’s north end sewage treatment plant are conspicuously absent from the provincial budget, released on March 20, 2025.

Lake Winnipeg Community-Based Monitoring Network (LWCBMN) gathered together to learn about network activities, explore how LWCBMN data are being used, and understand the importance of focusing on phosphorus to address Lake Winnipeg’s algal blooms.

The new cost estimate for biological nutrient removal at Winnipeg's north end sewage plant is an astronomical $1.491 billion. While seeking additional funding, city council must optimize the chemical phosphorus reduction system already in place at the plant.

Presenting to the Standing Policy Committee on Water, Waste and Environment, we express our concern over the 80% cost increase for biological nutrient removal facilities at Winnipeg's North End Water Pollution Control Centre (NEWPCC). As councillors work to secure funding for this project, we urge City Council to optimize the chemical phosphorus reduction solution already in place at NEWPCC, in order to achieve phosphorus compliance.
