Today, we capture and treat more than 99 per cent of collected sanitary and storm flows, one of the best capture rate of Ontario cities with combined sewers. The flow not directed to treatment — less than one per cent — is discharged to the Ottawa River in the form of combined sewer overflows during wet weather events.
