Canada opened its largest water filtration plant, the Seymour-Capilano water filtration plant, on 7 May.

The new plant will supply clean drinking water to the residents of Metro Vancouver.

The water filtration plant is a partnership project between the Government of Canada, the Province of British Columbia and Metro Vancouver.

Canada’s Government and the Province of British Columbia have jointly invested $100m in the project.

Metro Vancouver has budgeted about $328m for the Seymour-Capilano filtration plant.

The filtration plant can filter and treat a maximum of approximately 1.8 billion litres of water per day.
