A new environmental video takes you into the facility where water travels from Lake Huron to your faucet.
The video from the Ausable Bayfield Maitland Valley Source Protection Committee (SPC) demonstrates why taking care of lake water is so important.
The virtual tour of the Goderich Water Treatment Plant is hosted by John Graham, Environmental Representative on the SPC and Project Manager with Veolia Water Canada Inc. Cory Dulong, Senior Lead Operator, also helps take viewers through the complex system from intake pipe, screening debris, initial treatment, filtering, chlorination and continual testing to distribution through the Goderich water system – an eight-hour process.
It is the third video is a series from the Source Protection Committee.
The SPC says the most vulnerable area for the Goderich surface water system is a one-kilometre ring around the mouth of the intake pipe, and includes the Goderich Harbour and waterfront beaches.
