Wastewater Treatment Plant

The Banff Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) successfully treats Banff's wastewater and processes it, converting it into a safe, clean, renewable resource.

The WWTP uses the state-of-the-art Biological Nutrient Removal technology, which means the biological nutrient removal process removes total nitrogen and total phosphorus from wastewater through the use of microorganisms under different environmental conditions throughout the treatment process. Being located in a national park, the Town of Banff is held to a higher standard of operation than other municipalities, and regularly exceeds Parks Canada leadership limits.

The Town of Banff manages and operates the WWTP.
