Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Corporation Advises of Short-term Reduction in Water Supply

Thursday, May 29, 2025 – The Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Corporation (BPWTC) is advising of a short-term reduction in the supply of water to its customers, including the Cities of Regina and Moose Jaw. BPWTC has identified an issue with the plant that it is currently addressing with on-site experts. Plant officials anticipate having the issue resolved over the next couple of days. The issue is the result of commissioning work underway on the renewed water treatment plant. 

The Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Corporation Plant Renewal Project, which began in 2022, includes upgrading the main treatment plant, treatment processes and treatment technologies, as well as modernizing the facility with necessary redundancy. It is rejuvenating the plant, enabling it to meet the region’s forecasted potable water demands for the years ahead. 

Last upgraded more than 30 years ago, the Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Plant has now reached the end of its useful life. Water treatment plants typically require a major refurbishing every 25 to 30 years The Plant Renewal Project is expected to be completed and fully operational by mid 2026.
