What happened
Morden began utilizing a temporary wastewater hookup at Winkler's facility on October 21, 2026, to avoid winter overflow. Winkler has since agreed to allow Morden to begin the regulatory approval process for this connection. The arrangement involves Morden temporarily using up to 1,037 cubic metres per day of capacity allocated to Rural Municipality of Stanley.
Why it matters
Morden has faced issues with wastewater capacity, which has led to a pause on new building permits since 2023. This temporary hookup addresses the immediate capacity shortage while Morden works toward increasing its own treatment capacity.
