Water and Wastewater Facilities
The Township of Minden Hills owns a water pumping and distribution system and a wastewater treatment plant and collection system in the Town of Minden. These facilities are under contract to the Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) for the operation and maintenance only. The water is supplied from two wells and chlorinated prior to being pumped to the distribution system. The wastewater treatment plant is an extended aeration activated sludge process with tertiary treatment and has a capacity of 945 m3 / day and a peak flow of 3410 m3 / day. The effluent is treated with chlorine prior to entering the Gull River. There is approximately 13,000 meters each of water distribution and sewer collection infrastructure in the systems. Fire hydrants are provided throughout the Town of Minden. The Township of Minden Hills is in the process of reviewing the extension of both the water distribution and sewer collection systems in order to accommodate further growth within the Town of Minden.

MUNICIPAL WASTE RECYCLING STRATEGY
MUNICIPAL WASTE RECYCLING STRATEGY PLAN SUMMARY
The Township of Minden Hills owns and operates, under contract, 2 landfill sites (Scotch Line and Irondale) and 3 transfer stations (Little Gull, Ingoldsby and Iron Mine). All sites accept household garbage, recycled material and scrap metal. The Scotch Line site has been identified as the site for the disposal of all construction material as the Township grinds this material and uses it for supplementary cover. Brush can be disposed of at the Ingoldsby, Iron Mine and Irondale sites at no charge. Please be advised that all residents of the Township of Minden Hills can dispose of waste material at any of the sites in the Township, recently approved by the MOE.
Please Note The Following Changes
Effective January 1, 2008, mandatory clear bags of garbage are limited to three bags per week per household. Additional clear bags will be charged at $1.00/bag. Tipping fees have increased on some items as well. Please review the information sheets provided at the landfill sites or at the Administration Office, 7 Milne St., Minden, Ont.
