Project Map and Supporting Infrastructure

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 Feeder main

A new section of large-diameter underground piping will be constructed within the Bearspaw Water Treatment Plant compound. This piping will connect the new NCWS Pump Station to the new NCWS feeder main.

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 three million litres of water per day into the Research Park pressure zone.    

Top Hill Reservoir Expansion

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.

Big Hill East Reservoir Tie-in

Establishes a connection from the North Calgary Water Servicing feeder main to the existing Big Hill east reservoir, with provisions for future connections to the Nose Hill east and Top Hill pressure zones.

Beddington Reservoir – Northridge Tie-in

Creates a bypass connection between the North Ridge feeder main, Beddington feeder main, and the existing reservoir, enabling reverse flow from the Spy Hill east pressure zone to the North Hill pressure zone through the North Ridge feeder main.

North/South Control Chamber

This chamber connects the new high-lift pump station, the North Calgary Water Servicing feeder main, the future South Calgary Water Servicing feeder main, and the new water treatment plant.

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 N.W. in future years, once water demand in Northwest Calgary reaches a target level.

Mountainview Pump Station Capacity Upgrades

Various upgrades to the existing Mountain View pump station to increasing its overall pumping capacity to 60 million litres (ML) per day.
