Sewer Service

Treatment facility

The Village of Lytton Sewage Treatment Facility receives and processes the community’s wastewater, also known as sewage. The facility is located on River Road.

Through an extensive treatment process, materials are separated from the wastewater and, ultimately, liquid and solid end products are produced. These end products are biosolids and treated water.

System upgrades

In fall 2023, as part of its recovery efforts after the Lytton Creek fire, the Village hired contractors to prepare for new sewer connections.

This work included the following:

• Inspecting and flushing sewer lines
• Verifying existing maps and drawings
• Recommending priorities for maintenance and repair

Information gathered from this work will inform future investments in the sewer system.

To keep the sewer system working well and prevent blockages that can result in major damage, keep the following products out of our pipes:

• Fats, oils, and cooking grease
• Personal hygiene products (for example, dental floss, wipes even if the package says “flushable”, sanitary pads, tampons and applicators, diapers, condoms, and cotton swabs)
• Medication (pills and liquid medicines)
• Household hazardous waste (cleaning products, paint, pesticides, and solvents)
• Car and garage products (brake fluid, motor oil, and antifreeze)

Connection to the Village of Lytton sewer system is available to homes and businesses within municipal boundaries.
