Central Manitoulin Water and Sewer Services

Water and sewer systems were constructed in the village of Mindemoya in 1996. The water intake plant is on the east shore of Lake Mindemoya and the sewage treatment plant is to the south of the village at Mud Lake. Six-inch water and ten-inch sewer mains service Mindemoya except for the Hodgins-Nelder subdivision. The system is currently running under capacity with much room available for expansion. The Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) currently maintains the system.
