Painting of Bare Point Intake Protection Zone

Local artist Ruth Tye McKenzie depicts a bird's eye view of the Bare Point Intake Protection Zone in this painting commissioned by the Lakehead Region Conservation Authority. The Bare Point Water Treatment Plant supplies the City of Thunder Bay with its Municipal residential drinking water. Lake Superior is the source of water for the City of Thunder Bay's Municipal drinking water system with the surface water intake located 750 metres off shore at Bare Point.
Rosslyn Village located in the Municipality of Oliver Paipoonge has the only other Municipal residential drinking system in the Lakehead Source Protection Area. The Rosslyn Village Municipal system draws its water from two groundwater wells, which are operated alternately.
The Lakehead Source Protection Committee is developing a Source Protection Plan to protect the source water for the two local Municipal residential drinking water systems under Regulation of the "Clean Water Act".
