​Only select private residences in Horseshoe Valley are serviced by the Municipal communal tile fields. Many (but not all) residences connected to these systems are equipped with a septic tank (i.e. holding tank), which provides the first level of sewage treatment. 

Presently, the Municipality does not own or operate the Horseshoe Valley wastewater collection system and treatment plant (WWTP).

  • Dry - detain water for a short period of time
  • Wet - hold a permanent pool of water
  • LID - Low Impact Development, which uses special filter media to treat stormwater
These are engineered facilities designed to mitigate flooding and clean the water before releasing downstream.
