TransAqua, the Greater Moncton Wastewater Commission, (www.transaqua.ca)
was established in 1983 to support the wastewater collection and treatment
needs of the Dieppe, Moncton and Riverview tri-community. Since then, it has
developed a 31-kilometre collection network and a treatment facility to best
deliver on this mandate. It has also become a leader in the reuse of bio-solids
through the generation of type ‘AA’ compost (the highest grade currently
achieved in Canada) as opposed to disposal in a landfill site.
