Maxville is evaluating wastewater system upgrades due to capacity concerns and new federal regulations. The existing system, with two pumping stations discharging annually, is insufficient for projected population growth from 321 to 561 homes by 2051.

Proposed options include: upgrading for two discharges yearly at $11.8 million, expanding lagoons for $14.7 million, or building a new mechanical plant for $16 million. Doing nothing could limit growth.

An Environmental Study Report by EVB Engineering will be provided by June or July 2026, with validity for 10 years unless environmental changes occur. Financial support from provincial governments is critical for infrastructure improvements.
