Overflow Caused by a Pumping Station Breakdown

On November 20, a breakdown at one of our pumping stations unfortunately caused a wastewater overflow into Brome Lake.

For more details, watch the information video prepared by Mayor Lee Patterson.

The Town of Brome Lake continues to invest in its infrastructure to reduce the risk of such incidents.

The Fondation Rivières recently released its annual ranking of municipalities, from worst to best, based on the intensity of wastewater overflows per capita.

In 2024, Brome Lake recorded only two overflows, with an average per-capita intensity of 0, placing the Town among the top-ranked municipalities in Québec.
