CSA S900.1:18 PDF Download

CSA S900.1:18 is a standard that focuses on climate change adaptation for wastewater treatment plants. It aims to provide owners of such plants with comprehensive guidelines for design, operation, and retrofit criteria that can increase the resilience of the plants. The standard addresses different aspects, including climate, regulatory, risk, design, construction, and operations and maintenance.

The standard provides a user-friendly framework and tool that designers, engineers, and managers can use when designing, constructing, or operating wastewater treatment plants. It also offers guidance on climate change data sources and how to use them to determine the impacts on wastewater treatment plant components. The standard highlights climate change adaptation measures that can help build resilience and address high-risk scenarios related to wastewater treatment plants.

It is important to note that this standard applies specifically to the wastewater treatment plants themselves and their processes and property. It does not cover the collection systems that feed into the plant or the disposal receivers. The standard has been developed in compliance with the requirements of the Standards Council of Canada and has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.
