The Rose Valley Water Treatment Plant is the single largest construction project the City of West Kelowna has undertaken. With a capacity to deliver 70 million litres of treated water per day, the three-storey, 5,245-square-metre facility serves 19,650 customers. It was also designed to increase capacity to 115 million litres per day to meet future demands. The new plant is a state-of-the-art facility that will use coagulation, flocculation, dissolved air flotation, filtration, ultraviolet (UV) light disinfection and chlorination. A multi-barrier treatment process will improve the taste, colour, and smell of the water. The RVWTP will provide drinking water to residents of our community that exceeds provincial guidelines.
