Plumber in Mont-Saint-Hilaire

Mont-Saint-Hilaire hosts the treatment plant that handles wastewater from four Vallée-du-Richelieu municipalities, including its own.

The network feeding it is unusual: the water does not simply flow downhill, it is lifted by a series of pumping stations on both banks of the river. A pressurised network behaves differently from a gravity one during heavy rain.

For an owner the consequence is simple: the backwater valve and the foundation drain are the basement's last line of defence.

Plomberie Boucherville does not have an office in Mont-Saint-Hilaire. We travel there from Boucherville.

Worth knowing in Mont-Saint-Hilaire

  • The Vallée-du-Richelieu treatment plant is here

    The Régie d’assainissement des eaux usées de la Vallée du Richelieu treats wastewater from Beloeil, Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Otterburn Park and McMasterville. Its administrative building and plant are at 300 rue Brunet in Mont-Saint-Hilaire.

  • Sixteen pumping stations on both banks of the Richelieu

    Sixteen pumping stations belonging to the Régie are in service, “mainly located on either side of the Richelieu River”, and carry wastewater to the treatment plant. It is a lifted network, not a purely gravity-fed one — which makes individual basement protection all the more useful.

Frequently asked questions in Mont-Saint-Hilaire

Is the treatment plant in Mont-Saint-Hilaire?
Yes, at 300 rue Brunet. The Régie d'assainissement des eaux usées de la Vallée du Richelieu treats wastewater there for four municipalities: Beloeil, Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Otterburn Park and McMasterville.
Why are pumping stations mentioned here?
Because the network is not purely gravity-fed. Sixteen pumping stations belonging to the Régie are in service, “mainly located on either side of the Richelieu River”, lifting the water to the treatment plant. A lifted network behaves differently from a gravity one during heavy rain.
How do I protect my basement?
With the backwater valve and the foundation drain: those are the two devices that remain under your control, and the last line of defence when the municipal network is under strain. They must be accessible and checked, not merely present.
Do you serve Mont-Saint-Hilaire from Boucherville?
Yes, along with neighbouring Beloeil and Otterburn Park. Emergency service runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at 514-475-5516.
