 May 2002: At Rivière des Prairies, 4,400 hp powers the pump houses
The 2.45 m (8-ft.) feed pipes that transport wastewater from the city to the La Pinière station are located 22.7 m (75-ft.) below the level of the Des Prairies River and buried under Route 440, one of the main highways running through the city.
By processing approximately 75% of the island's total wastewater, mainly from the south end, the operation of this station has a major environmental impact, because it has finally made possible the purification of waste entering the Des Prairies River (waste entering the Des Milles-Iles River is already processed at the Auteuil and Fabreville plants).
Positive effects on the Des Prairies River were already evident in the fall of 1998 in terms of the quality of the water pumped at the intake to the drinking water processing facility.

 Montréal - Wastewater Treatment Plant - Historical Notes
On June 21, 1971, the Régie des eaux du Québec approved the conclusions reached in the Water Purification Department's report (May 18, 1971) and the Community's decision to build a treatment plant in the Rivière-des-Prairies district as decreed by Ordinance 153.
On July 27, 1971, the Régie des eaux du Québec issued Ordinance 210 directing the Community to proceed with construction work related to the treatment of wastewater from the western and southwestern sectors of the Island of Montréal and Île-Bizard.
In 1989, an agreement was reached with the ministère de l'Environnement du Québec for the addition of seven sedimentation basins instead of the fourteen which were planned for the treatment of wastewater from the southeastern interceptor, thereby providing service to all parts of the territory.

 Family sues over death of detained son
Two years after the death of Bryan Bédard following a scuffle with guards at the Rivière des Prairies detention centre, his family is suing the Quebec government for detaining him and, they allege, failing to look after his safety.
Bédard's parents and two brothers argued at a press conference yesterday that the 33-year-old mentally ill man should never have seen the inside of a prison cell, let alone died in one.
In her report, Kronstrom said Bédard died from heart failure caused by a lack of oxygen as guards attempted to subdue him by placing a towel on his face in an effort to place him stomach-down on a bed.
