Barrie Surface Water Treatment Plant
Offsite Tour with John Thompson from the City
The Surface Water Treatment Plant (SWTP) began supplying water to Barrie in 2011. Surface water is drawn from Lake Simcoe (Kempenfelt Bay) through a pipe nearly 1km from shore and 26m deep. Water is pumped to a low-lift pumping station close to the shoreline, then up to the SWTP at 20 Royal Parkside Drive.
