Michipicoten First Nation Water Treatment Plant Upgrades

FY 2025-26 · 2025-10-30

Summary
The Michipicoten Water Treatment Plant Upgrade project in Michipicoten First Nation, Ontario aims to provide a sustainable and reliable water supply to support future housing and population expansions. This capital project involves expanding the existing water treatment plant (WTP) with a new conventional treatment system, including UV and chlorination, and upgrading the intake screen to meet Department of Fisheries and Oceans regulations. The project will construct a building addition to house new treatment equipment, expand the below-ground reservoir, implement a two-train conventional treatment system, install a new distribution pumping system, and decommission outdated units. The upgrades will increase the treatment capacity by 250%, deliver fire flows of 32 litres per second (L/s), and support proposed developments. The outcome will be a fully upgraded WTP capable of meeting the community’s potable water demands, enhancing fire suppression capabilities, supporting future expansion, and complying with environmental regulations.

Description (French)
Le projet de modernisation de la station de traitement des eaux de Michipicoten, dans la Première nation de Michipicoten (Ontario), vise à assurer un approvisionnement en eau durable et fiable pour faire face à l'expansion future des habitations et de la population. Ce projet d'immobilisation prévoit l'extension de la station de traitement d'eau existante avec un nouveau système de traitement conventionnel, y compris les rayons UV et la chloration, et l'amélioration de la grille d’entrée d'eau pour répondre aux réglementations du Ministère des Pêches et des Océans. Le projet prévoit la construction d'un bâtiment supplémentaire pour abriter le nouvel équipement de traitement, l'agrandissement du réservoir souterrain, la mise en place d'un système de traitement conventionnel de deux trains, l'installation d'un nouveau système de pompage de distribution et la mise hors service d'unités obsolètes. Ces améliorations permettront d'augmenter la capacité de traitement de 250 %, de fournir des débits d'eau de 32 litres par seconde (L/s) et de prendre en charge les développements proposés. Il en résultera une station de traitement entièrement modernisée, capable de répondre à la demande d'eau potable de la communauté, d'améliorer la capacité d'extinction des incendies, de soutenir l'expansion future et de se conformer aux réglementations en matière d'environnement.
