Ontario’s Regional Municipality of Peel (informally known as Peel Region) is an urban/suburban community of about 1.5 million people within the greater Toronto area. Thanks to ongoing population expansion, Peel Region is growing beyond the capacity of its legacy wastewater infrastructure. As well, much of this infrastructure is decades old and suffering from wear.
To mitigate these problems, Peel Region has been inspecting its approximately 205 miles of large-diameter trunk sanitary sewers as part of a five-year plan. One of these is the McVean Trunk Sewer System, which carries wastewater from local businesses and residences to Peel Region’s McVean Sanitary Pumping
