Decentralized Solutions for Municipal Wastewater Relief
Around the world, municipalities are reaching or exceeding the design capacity of their central wastewater treatment plants.
Increase Capacity Without Breaking the Budget
Aging infrastructure and budget constraints are making it difficult to justify large-scale capital projects. This bottleneck is slowing growth and delaying residential, commercial, and industrial expansion. Miranda Water Technologies offers a smarter, scalable solution to help governments and municipalities unlock capacity without overhauling entire systems.
The Miracell® system from Miranda is a modular Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) that can be deployed in a variety of ways to increase system-wide capacity. Whether installed to complement an overloaded central plant or placed closer to a new growth area, Miracell® provides immediate wastewater treatment capacity exactly where it is needed most.
Governments and Municipalities can also use Miracell® as an offload mechanism. By treating wastewater at the source such as in a new residential subdivision, Miracell® frees up space at the central plant to accommodate higher-strength effluent from commercial or industrial zones, including employment lands. This allows cities to support job-creating developments without waiting for plant expansion.
Smarter Infrastructure
For a Changing Policy Environment
Ontario, Canada as well as other jurisdictions around the world are evolving their policies to support more flexible servicing solutions. Instead of funneling every project into aging infrastructure, regulators now encourage decentralized, high-performance systems that reduce environmental impact and improve system resilience.
Miranda’s engineering team has over 18 years of experience designing wastewater solutions that meet or exceed regulatory standards in over a dozen countries. We can help municipalities design systems that align with both short-term approvals and long-term infrastructure goals, whether it’s temporary capacity relief or permanent decentralized servicing.
Regulatory Changes Are Driving Smarter Growth
Let Miranda Help
In Ontario, Canada, recent updates to land use and housing policies are enabling municipalities to support growth through more flexible servicing models. These policy shifts allow municipalities to approve developments that use decentralized or communal water and wastewater systems, creating opportunities to relieve pressure on existing infrastructure without committing to multi-year capital expansion projects.
Miranda Water Technologies works closely with municipal teams to design and implement tailored water and wastewater systems that align with updated provincial legislation and local planning priorities. Whether supplementing capacity at a central treatment facility or deploying a standalone system closer to a new development zone, our solutions are engineered to integrate seamlessly with municipal needs.
Unlike traditional infrastructure projects that can take years to plan, fund, and construct, Miranda’s modular Miracell® system can be operational in a matter of months. Our technologies are professionally designed, scalable, and built to meet or exceed the most stringent government guidelines. This allows municipalities to respond to growth pressures quickly and efficiently while maintaining full compliance and environmental responsibility.
Phased Growth, Smarter Infrastructure Investment
Scale Capacity Alongside Community Expansion
For municipalities facing growth pressure but limited capital budgets, Miracell® offers a practical alternative to large, upfront infrastructure projects. Instead of building excess capacity before it is needed, municipalities can support development with a phased approach. The system can be deployed in stages, with an initial module installed to service early phases of a subdivision or new community. Additional capacity can be added as population and demand increase over time.
This modular flexibility allows infrastructure investment to align with actual growth and development timelines, reducing financial risk and enabling more responsive land use planning. Miracell® has been successfully used in residential communities ranging from 20 to over 1,500 homes, offering proven performance and reliability. For municipal governments, it presents a cost-effective, scalable solution that supports responsible planning and long-term service delivery without overextending existing infrastructure.

Unlock Growth Where Your Community Needs It Most
Government and Municipalities across the world are facing increased demand for both housing and employment lands, yet growth is often constrained by the limits of existing water and wastewater infrastructure. Miranda Water Technologies provides scalable, decentralized solutions that allow you to support strategic development—whether it’s a residential community near city limits or an industrial park just beyond service boundaries.
Many municipalities face growing demand for housing and employment lands but are limited by the capacity of existing wastewater systems. Miranda’s Miracell® technology provides a decentralized solution that allows you to service priority growth areas without major infrastructure upgrades.
By deploying Miracell closer to where development is needed, municipalities can support new subdivisions, mixed use areas, or expansion zones beyond existing service boundaries. The system is modular, compliant with government regulations, and proven in real world conditions. It reduces pressure on central facilities and enables phased growth aligned with your planning strategy. With Miracell, you can unlock land and drive economic development right where demand already exists.
Miracell® RBC
Scalable, compliant wastewater treatment for growing communities
Miracell® from Miranda Water Technologies is a modular Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) system designed to help municipalities increase wastewater capacity without relying on large infrastructure expansions. Engineered to meet the most stringent environmental and government regulations, Miracell® effectively treats all types of domestic wastewater and produces safe, reusable water for irrigation, fire suppression, or compliant environmental discharge.
Perfect for new residential growth areas, edge of town developments, or as a way to reduce the load on existing treatment plants, Miracell gives municipalities the ability to manage wastewater exactly where service is needed. Its scalable and modular design allows for phased implementation, making it easy to align infrastructure investment with actual population growth and capital planning cycles.
Each system includes SmartCell technology for remote system monitoring, automated performance alerts, and data tracking. This removes the need for daily on site supervision and reduces operational costs while improving reliability.
With successful installations serving as few as 20 homes and as many as 1,500, Miracell® is a proven municipal wastewater treatment solution that supports sustainable community growth, and long term resilience.
