Ever heard of a SmartBall?

Our team just completed a high-tech pipeline inspection using SmartBall technology - small sensor-equipped balls that travel through our sewer lines to detect potential issues before they become problems.

It's one of the ways we stay ahead of infrastructure maintenance and protect our community's wastewater system.

Holiday cooking is coming - and so is FOG season!

Fats, oils, and grease are the #1 cause of sewer backups. Before you pour that turkey grease down the drain: cool it, can it, trash it.

Your pipes (and ours) will thank you!

How do you inspect a major pipeline without digging?

Our B3 force main condition assessment used advanced acoustic technology to detect leaks, wall thickness, and air pockets - all from the inside.

Data-driven decisions keep your infrastructure strong for decades to come.

Rain is on the way. Is your sewer lateral ready?

LWD offers up to $3,000 to help homeowners repair or replace their private sewer lateral. A cracked lateral + heavy rain may result in potential backup.

Apply before the storms hit!

Our crews pulled a massive tangle of twine out of equipment at one of our pump stations this past Friday. Materials like this wrap around our pumps, cause costly damage, and can lead to sewer backups in your neighbourhood.

Your sewer is designed for three things: water, waste, and toilet paper. That’s it!

Twine, rope, rags, wipes - they all need to go in the trash, not down the drain. Help us protect our system and our community!

Upgrades in progress at our Diana Pump Station!

A new backup generator is being installed with a factory-tested Automatic Transfer Switch. When complete, this station will switch to backup power in seconds during an outage.

Reliable power = reliable sewer service. That’s the LWD standard.

Thank you for your dedication, Gabriel. Here’s to many more!
