The City, with a population of 40,000 citizens, is located upstream of the river forks where the South Saskatchewan River joins the North Saskatchewan River. The Water Treatment Plant (WTP) is located at the southwest corner of 6th Avenue West and River Street West. The WTP is approximately three miles upstream of the City of Prince Albert J. W. Oliver Pollution Control Centre wastewater treatment plant. The WTP can treat up to 10 million gallons per day.
