Glenmore Water Treatment Plant Tour

In this rare glimpse inside the historic Glenmore Water Treatment Plant, City of Calgary staff will highlight how some of the cleanest river water in the world is treated to become safe drinking water.

Learn about our pre-treatment technology that allowed us to continue to produce high quality drinking water during the floods of 2013. This experience will showcase why we should all value Calgary’s most precious resource and will explore ways you can help to protect and preserve our rivers through actions in your own home.
