Project Description: The project is a 140 to 160ML/d membrane filtration water treatment plant. The project includes the treatment plant, an attached administration building accommodating operator areas, an operator training facility with pilot plant, laboratory and visitor reception area. The total project budget is $48.5 milliion. The plant is being built on a two hectare former industrial site within the city centre area of Kamloops. The site is in close proximity to the South Thompson River and adjacent to service commercial, residential and park land uses. The Kamloops Millennium Rivers Trail crosses the site. Approximately 4700 m_ of the site will be restored to a naturalized landscape treatment including a wetland. Other site features include visitor and service access, shared use parking, secure delivery / storage compound and a recycling drop-off station.
