Inuvik WTP Piping

Water Treatment Plant - Inuvik, NT

The Town of Inuvik owned and operated two water supply and associated treatment facilities to provide potable water for the community on a year-round basis. The pre-existing water treatment plants were reaching intended lifespans and needed to be upgraded or replaced. A new water treatment plant opened in March 2017. This new plant allows Inuvik to have a single source of water year round as opposed to relying on water from Hidden Lake in the summer and the Mackenzie River in the winter. Dillon designed a new water treatment solution that draws water from a single source instead of the two water supplies.
