Source & supply
Saint Lawrence River
Chaudière River
Three production plants feed sectorized distribution networks; the city has been interconnecting plants so one can backstop another during source emergencies.
After the Lac-Mégantic disaster contaminated the Chaudière upstream, Charny temporarily switched to the Beaurivage River—an episode that drove interconnection investment between Lévis plants.
