Water and Sewer Rates
To accommodate future growth, the City of Barrie is undertaking two major projects to provide additional capacity for water and wastewater treatment.
In progress:
- $150M surface water treatment plant and low lift pumping station to be completed in 2011
- $100M water pollution control plant expansion and biosolids storage facility to be completed in 2011
In addition to groundwater extraction, the City’s new surface water treatment plant will draw water directly from Kempenfelt Bay.
