The Seymour-Capilano Filtration Plant will treat water from both the Seymour and Capilano rivers, and will include the world’s largest ultraviolet disinfection works.
The Seymour-Capilano filtration plant, the largest facility of its kind in Canada, will filter up to 1.8 billion litres of water per day, which is enough to fill B.C. Place.
Filtration improves drinking water quality by removing micro-organisms, organics, silts and clays caused by heavy rainfall, and reduces the amount of chlorine required to maintain water quality.
The water will also be treated to reduce corrosion in pipes and the staining of plumbing fixtures.
The Canada-BC Infrastructure Grant Program is providing partial funding for the project.
