THE ATWATER POTABLE WATER Treatment Plant (Usine de filtration d'eau d'Atwater) was first commissioned in 1911 and has over the years undergone a series of significant upgrades with the last one being in 1967. The plant is the second largest potable water treatment plant in Canada and it currently provides potable water to approximately 42 per cent of the Montreal Island population. It has a capacity to treat 1,350,000m~3 of water per day (356.6 MGD) and its average daily treatment is approximately 650,000m~3 of water per day (172 MGD). The plant takes its water from a nearby aqueduct channel that was originally built in 1854 to provide clean water to the south east area of Montreal. The channel has also undergone several upgrades and reconstruction to its current configuration of approximately 40m width and approximately 8m depth.
