Jacobs selected by Metro Vancouver for Coquitlam Lake Water Supply Project

Jacobs (J) was selected by Metro Vancouver, a regional district in British Columbia, Canada to provide program management services for the Coquitlam Lake Water Supply Project. The project will expand capacity for accessing, treating and distributing water from Coquitlam Lake, the region’s largest drinking water source, while increasing the system’s resilience to climate change. The infrastructure includes building a state-of-the-art intake facility, a 5.3-mile water supply tunnel and a new treatment plant to serve the region’s 2.7M residents and meet future demand. As the program manager, Jacobs will oversee permitting, design, project controls and construction of the critical water infrastructure as well as deliver supporting technical services and a treatment pilot study.
