The water treatment plant started delivering water
to the Village of MacTier in March of 1995. The
treatment process consists of chemically assisted
coagulation-flocculation, sedimentation and filtration
using multi-media filters with a combination of gravel,
sand and anthracite coal. Disinfection in a post-treatment
chlorine contact chamber is followed by final pH adjustment
before the treated water is pumped to customers. The
waterworks currently serves a population of approximately
640 persons. The rated water production capacity of the plant
is 1428 cubic meters per day. The raw water source is Stewart
Lake and the intake is located 1.5 meters above the lakebed at
a depth of 11 meters, about 220 meters from shore.
