Water Treatment Plant Update

The District of Hudson’s Hope and BC Hydro continue to work collaboratively on the completion of the permanent water treatment system.

The engineering consultant, McElhanney, recently completed the detailed design for the completed system and a significant portion of the preparatory work inside of the water treatment plant building has been completed.

Later this month, work will begin to replace and strengthen portions of the water treatment plant building roof. This work is expected to take 3-4 weeks to complete and will include a number of trucks, cranes and general construction activities. The permanent clarifier is also scheduled for delivery later in November.

No service outages are expected during this period.

In early spring 2026, a new compressor shed will be installed next to the reservoir and connected to the raw water intake. A new buried water supply line will connect the new intake in the reservoir to the water treatment plant building.

Once all this work has been completed, commissioning of the system will occur in the spring/summer 2026. Temporary disruptions to water services may be needed as part of the commissioning process. Further details on any service disruptions will be provided closer to the date.
