Explanation:
Wastewater undergoes primary and secondary treatment at the Water Reclamation Plant. Treatment works include a "Channel Monster" and "Auger Monster", an aerated grit chamber, three primary clarifiers, three trickling filters, three secondary clarifiers, chlorination facilities and a smoothing basin for final polishing.

The process used is (extended aeration) activated sludge; the system is comprised of a primary clarifier, equalization basin, aeration basin, secondary clarifier, and polishing basin. Treated effluent is discharged into the Athabasca River via submerged diffusers.
