Smaller local treatment plants in place of a large central facility allow for considerable economical advantages including the reduction of costly collection infrastructure as well as providing the opportunity for smaller incremental-as-needed expansion phasing. Significant environmental and practical advantages also exist, including the possibility of reclaimed water re-use or disposal even in a very environmentally sensitive locality. In early 2000's Indian & Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) was evaluating the construction of a wastewater treatment plant to serve the Snaw-Naw-As First Nation village in Nanoose Bay in British Columbia.
