Prince Rupert returned to Woodworth Lake after a multi-year dam rebuild—turbidity improved, while a full treatment plant remains the next mandated step.
Treatment
Prince Rupert chlorination facility (full WTP planned)
Currently chlorination-focused; comprehensive filtration plant still in planning/pilot (Shawatlans pilot targeted ~2026). New Woodworth Dam completed 2022; primary supply restored Feb 2023.
