Bare Point Water Treatment Plant
The Bare Point Water Treatment Plant was originally built in 1903 and expanded in 1978. In 2007 the plant underwent a major upgrade and now provides all the water for the City of Thunder Bay. 
Our water undergoes many different processes from the time it enters the plant to the time it is transported through the extensive distribution system to our homes and businesses.
At Bare Point raw water is fed by gravity into the plant through a pipe that is 1350mm in diameter, and ends nearly 1 km from the shoreline. Screens remove debris and particles from the raw water where it enters the plant.
The Plant has the operational capacity to produce 113.5 million litres of water per day, through four pressure zones, seven three-pump-stations, and five reservoirs. The Plant utilizes pre-chlorination; coagulation-flocculation followed by membrane ultra-filtration and disinfection with sodium hypochlorite. Find out more about these processes here.
