Smart Water and Wastewater Solutions for Housing Developments Without Central Infrastructure

Many residential housing projects remain stalled because they are located just beyond municipal water and wastewater infrastructure or in areas where systems are already at capacity. Yet these properties are often close to schools, employment areas, and shopping centers, making them ideal for new development. Without access to centralized utilities, developers need a reliable self contained water and wastewater solution.

Miranda’s Miracell® system is a scalable, decentralized Rotating Biological Contactor that treats wastewater on site for residential communities. Paired with R/OCell® reverse osmosis or Miranda’s filtration systems, developers can provide clean, safe water in areas once considered too expensive or difficult to service. These modular systems help unlock land, meet regulations, and support sustainable growth.

Decentralized Infrastructure

For Rapid Residential Development

Miranda Water Technologies provides developers with a proven, fully engineered wastewater and water solution tailored to suburban and fringe communities. Our Miracell® system is a scalable, modular Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) technology that enables full wastewater treatment on site. Combined with our R/OCell® system for water purification, Miranda helps unlock developments that were once considered too complex or costly to service.

Policy Shifts Are Changing the Game

Miranda is Leading the Way

In Ontario, Canada, recent changes to land use and housing regulations have made it easier to permit and approve developments that rely on private or communal servicing. Miranda is working directly with developers and communities to align projects with updated provincial guidelines and municipal requirements. Our engineering team designs solutions that meet or exceed evolving regulatory requirements, drawing on over 18 years of experience across multiple countries. We apply this global expertise to align with new local standards and help fast-track approval through proven, compliant system designs.

Phased Development, Phased Investment

Align Capital Costs with Lot Sales

Unlike traditional infrastructure that demands large upfront investment, the Miracell® system grows with your community. Developers can install an initial module(s) to support the first phase of homes and then expand as each new phase is brought online. This allows capital expenditures to be timed with revenue from home sales, improving project cash flow and financial feasibility.

Miracell® has been successfully deployed in developments ranging from 20 homes to more than 1,500, proving its versatility and reliability in real-world residential applications.

Why Developers Should Choose Miranda?

  • Over 1,200 systems worldwide
  • Supports 20 to 1,500+ homes per system
  • Phased expansion model lowers initial capital risk
  • Engineered to meet or exceed Ontario standards
  • Accelerates permitting by aligning with regulatory changes
  • Environmentally responsible and energy efficient

Miracell® RBC

Scalable, compliant, and remotely managed wastewater treatment designed for modern residential growth

Miranda Water Technologies’ Miracell® Ultra is the ideal wastewater treatment solution for modern housing developments that must operate independently of municipal systems. Designed with advanced Rotating Biological Contactor technology, Miracell® Ultra meets the most stringent environmental guidelines to transform all wastewater into safe, reusable water.

This system is perfect for residential projects on the outskirts or in suburban areas where centralized infrastructure is limited. Its modular and scalable design allows developers to expand the system in tandem with new development phases, aligning capital expenditures with home sales and reducing upfront costs. Additionally, the integrated SmartCell monitoring technology provides remote oversight and automated maintenance alerts. This feature eliminates the need for constant on-site supervision, allowing performance data and system health to be tracked from anywhere while reducing operational expenses. By offering a reliable, self-contained solution that addresses both wastewater treatment and water reuse, Miracell® Ultra supports sustainable growth and enhances property values by ensuring long-term water security for housing developments.

R/OCell®

Decentralized, efficient, and fully managed water purification for residential communities

R/OCell from Miranda Water Technologies is the perfect water purification solution for housing developments located outside municipal water service zones or in areas with poor groundwater quality. Engineered to treat seawater, brackish, or contaminated sources, R/OCell uses advanced reverse osmosis technology to consistently deliver high-quality potable water that meets or exceeds regulatory standards.

Available in scalable formats including containerized Mobile, preassembled Railmount, and customizable Flex configurations, R/OCell can be deployed quickly and tailored to community size and site conditions.

Its built-in SmartCell platform enables complete remote monitoring and control, providing real-time data, alerts, and performance oversight without the need for on-site staff. This reduces operating costs and simplifies system management for developers and property managers. With rugged construction, climate-ready insulation, and modular expandability, R/OCell ensures reliable water access throughout the life of a development. Whether supporting 20 homes or 2,000, R/OCell gives residential communities the independence, safety, and flexibility they need to grow with confidence.

Miranda Filtration Systems

Smart, efficient polishing and pre-treatment solutions for groundwater-fed residential developments

In many housing developments, groundwater is naturally abundant and nearly potable. However, to centralize and distribute that water safely across multiple homes, additional treatment is often needed. Common issues such as elevated hardness, slight turbidity, or the need to chlorinate for residual protection can make raw groundwater unsuitable without polishing. Miranda Water Technologies offers Ultrafiltration (UF), sand filtration, and activated carbon filtration systems designed to enhance these sources with minimal infrastructure.

Miranda’s UF systems remove fine particulates, pathogens, and bacteria with sub-micron membrane filtration, while our sand and activated carbon systems address sediment, chlorine byproducts, taste, and odor. These technologies are easy to operate and can be configured as stand-alone units or integrated with larger treatment packages.

Combined with SmartCell monitoring, these systems can be managed remotely, reducing operational workload and ensuring consistent performance. For developers working with decent groundwater sources, Miranda’s filtration solutions offer a cost-effective way to meet safety, aesthetic, and regulatory requirements, ensuring water that is not only safe but also appealing and reliable for everyday household use.
