A staff of nine (9) full time personnel presently supports the Water Works Department.  One Superintendent, seven  Water Operators and one Administrative Coordinator.
The basic function of this Department is the administration, operation and maintenance of the municipal water treatment and distribution systems within the Town of Innisfil. There is presently one lake base (or surface water) treatment plant and five ground supply systems and associated distribution systems operating. These systems are described briefly in the following.

LAKESHORE WATER FILTRATION PLANT

The Town of Innisfil through funding made available from the Ontario Clean Water Agency (O.C.W.A.) constructed a water filtration plant and distribution system to serve the water requirements initially in the Alcona area. Water source is from a 900mm intake pipe 300 M off shore in Lake Simcoe. Production of water from this facility began in June 1996.To date approximately 5750 residential and commercial units have connected to this system, which runs from just north of the 10th Line in the north to just south of the 7th Line. Incorporated into this water system is a 2 million-gallon grade level reservoir located at 1610 Innisfil Beach Road.  In 2006 a transmission main was constructed from the Reservoir at 1610 Innisfil Beach Rd to Bradford giving them a higher capacity of water.  By 2008 Phase Two of the expansion was completed thus enabling the plant to service more area and population.  The present rated capacity of this Filtration Plant is 25,539m3 or 5.6 million gallons of water per day, to serve a population of approximately 64,000 based on a per capita of consumption of 400 litres per person per day.
