Supporting infrastructure


Bearspaw NCWS Pump Station

A new large-scale facility will be constructed at the existing Bearspaw Water Treatment Plant (WTP). This facility will use large electric pumps to move an additional 100 million litres of water per day into Northwest Calgary.

Bearspaw Yard Piping and Feedermain

A new section of large-diameter underground piping will be constructed within the Bearspaw WTP compound. This piping will connect the new NCWS Pump Station to the new NCWS feedermain.

Research Park Booster Station

A new small-scale facility will be constructed at Shaganappi Trail NW and 12 Mile Coulee Road NW. This facility will use small electric pumps to move an additional 3 million litres of water per day into the Research Park pressure zone.

Regulating Reservoir

A new underground concrete reservoir will be constructed at Country Hills Boulevard NW and Rocky Ridge Road NW. This new reservoir will have a storage capacity of 17 million litres and will be used primarily to balance water flows within the system.

Energy Recovery Facility

This new innovative facility will use electric turbines to capture surplus energy from the flowing water and direct this energy for use at other locations. It will be constructed at 144 Avenue NW and Shaganappi Trail NW in future years, once water demand in NW Calgary reaches a target level.
