Deep Lake Water Intakes: Construction, Operation, and Maintenance of the City of Toronto and Enwave Corporation Deep Lake Water Intakes
Publication: Pipelines 2018: Utility Engineering, Surveying, and Multidisciplinary Topics
ABSTRACT
The strategic partnership between the Enwave Corporation and the city of Toronto to create the world's largest lake-source district cooling system has enabled Toronto's downtown core to receive affordable and sustainable energy for over 15 years. The success of the system is attributable to the efforts put forth by both the project teams during design and construction, and operating teams that work to both optimize and maintain the system. The project has yielded 42,000 tonnes of renewable cooling energy, over 300 mega litres/day (MLD) of year-round quality drinking water from the once seasonal Toronto Island Water Treatment Plant, and has also resulted in a greenhouse gas reduction equivalent to 15,000 cars taken off the road annually.
