he Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Plant is
getting an overhaul. The 100,000-square-

Tfoot Plant, which serves Regina, Moose Jaw,

and communities in-between, is set to receive a
$222-million renewal that will enable it to continue to

deliver safe, healthy drinking water to over 260,000
citizens.

The facility was first built in the mid-1950s and
has undergone three major capacity and process

improvements since its original construction. With a
rated production capacity of 205 million litres per day,

the Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Plant has exceeded

the projected life of water treatment plants and is
now in need of upgrading and renewal to ensure the

continued delivery of sufficient high-quality water to its

customers.

“We were reaching near the end of the useful life of the

existing facility,” says Ryan Johnson, President & CEO
of the Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Corporation “and

we wanted a facility to meet the future needs.”
