Yeah your Canadian and you have the opposite issue to Australia where I am. I'm an engineer and was in Canada for a water treatment project in Saskatchewan (late 2017). I fell in love with Canadian football but that's another story. What Canada's water issue is, is the snow melt each year that dumps all that snow into the Canadian landscape. Since you have also grown by over 10 million people recently you also have an extra 10 million people flushing toilets and washing cloths. So there's a lot more water for the local waste treatment plants to handle. Because the tradition method is large ponds where the water moves every slowly allowing mother nature via sunlight and bacteria to break it all down to where it can simply be discharged into the river systems. The problem Canada has is those systems are not having to handle too much inflow and the water in those ponds is moving through them at a higher flow rate and that means mother nature hasn't had time to clean it. So when the snow melt happens its now flushing those ponds with only partially treated water into the rivers. Sorry but Canada need to do more of what I was doing, which was increasing the capacity of those waster water systems with newer technology. I made the most advanced waste water plant in the world work in Sask and within 6 weeks the local clown in charge let it freeze and wreck the whole place. I hadn't been fully paid when the plant was finished and NOBODY wanted to pay me to fix it because they were all too busy blaming each other. So I understand the Canadian issue quite well. Having been caught up in the middle of it.
