Collection of Wastewater
In the Town of Lincoln, there are two primary wastewater collection systems.
Vineland/Jordan wastewater collection system
- Includes the eastern half of the municipality (i.e., between Jordan Road and Martin Road) and Campden.
- This system outlets to a pumping station at the South Service Road, just west of Victoria Avenue.
- It is then conveyed via a force main to the lower end of the Beamsville wastewater collection system.
- The Town’s primary infrastructure in the Vineland/Jordan system consists of approximately 27 kilometers of piping and 435 access chambers.
Beamsville wastewater collection system

- The combined system flows are then conveyed via a force main to the Region’s’ Baker Road Sewage Treatment Plant in Grimsby.
- The Town’s primary infrastructure in this system consists of approximately 49 kilometers of piping and 607 access chambers.
Any further questions regarding the Town’s wastewater systems can be directed to the Public Works Department at 905-563-2799 ext. 234.
Sanitary Sewer Flushing
The Town of Lincoln has contracted Bob Robinson and Sons to perform routine sanitary sewer flushing starting November 3 for approximately three weeks. This maintenance helps keep the sewer system running efficiently. Residents may hear gurgling sounds or notice minor water disturbances. To prevent issues, keep toilet lids closed, run water in unused drains, and avoid using washrooms when crews are nearby.
Look for temporary signs like this while sewer flushing is underway in your area:
