- Includes the eastern half of the municipality (i.e., between Jordan Road and Martin Road) and Campden.
- This system outlets to a pumping station at the South Service Road, just west of Victoria Avenue.
- It is then conveyed via a force main to the lower end of the Beamsville wastewater collection system.
- The Town’s primary infrastructure in the Vineland/Jordan system consists of approximately 27 kilometers of piping and 435 access chambers.

Sanitary Sewer Flushing
Sewer flushing occurs at various times during active town projects. During sanitary sewer flushing, residents may hear gurgling sounds or notice minor water disturbances. To help prevent issues, please keep toilet lids closed, run water in unused drains, and avoid using washrooms when crews are nearby.
Watch for temporary signs like this when sewer flushing is underway in your area. Once the sign has been removed, the work is complete.
