As part of York Region's continued commitment to our residents to provide factual and ongoing information on all of our YDSS projects, the following links will act as a central resource for reviewing the major wastewater projects undertaken by the Region and our partners.

The YDSS converges at the jointly operated (York Region and Durham Region) Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) located in
The YDSS continues to serve as one of the best and most environmentally friendly systems in the entire
Twinning (or expanding) the YDSS is critical to ensuring adequate wastewater treatment for current and future York Region residents and businesses. York Region's population, which is currently 910,000, is expected to grow to more than 1.5 million by 2031.
In 1997, the Region completed the Master Plan Study for the YDSS. This Master Plan was completed to identify and review current conditions and future alternatives necessary to meet population projections in the Region.
In March 2002, the YDSS Master Plan was updated to reflect current planning forecasts and to confirm the timing of required infrastructure.
