Feature Profile

Kamloops Drinking Water Treatment Plant

Although historically the City of Kamloops has been using the South Thompson River as the main raw water source, the River has recently been showing signs of declining water quality.

Particularly in the spring, silted debris washes down river, and the Public Health Department eventually found Giardia and Cryptosporidium in the river intake area. It was in 1997 that health of officials acknowledged there was a serious turbidity concern. The City formed the Committee on Drinking Water Quality to deal specifically with this problem, and take preventative action for the future.
