Mission Hill Water Treatment Plant Filtration

This project is to construct a filtration plant at the Mission Hill Water Treatment Plant (MHWTP).  Filtration was identified as the highest priority to meet provincial legislation and the single largest project within the 2017 Greater Vernon Water Master Plan. The priority of this project has increased in recent years due to the increasing presence of cyanobacteria in Kalamalka Lake, a health threat that can only be mitigated with filtration.  

This project is being partially funded by a $30,000,000 grant from the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program, Green Infrastructure – Environmental Quality Fund (Green Fund) funded by the Federal and Provincial Governments. This fund supports projects that improve water, wastewater, stormwater and solid waste infrastructure.
