Barrie Allocates $41M for New Wastewater Innovation Centre
The City of Barrie is investing $41 million in a new Wastewater Innovation Centre to meet growing wastewater treatment demands. This facility aims to accommodate the city's population surge, projected to reach 175,000 by year-end.

The City of Barrie is set to construct a $41 million Wastewater Innovation Centre, with a gross floor area of 37,674 square feet. The facility will be located at the intersection of Bradford and John streets, close to the existing Wastewater Treatment Facility, which has a capacity of 76 million litres per day.
Demolition permits have been issued for five buildings on-site, including the former Midway Diner, with demolition expected to conclude by the end of summer 2026. The project will support the city's growing population and integrate renewable energy solutions for operational efficiency. Increased wastewater treatment demands necessitate this investment to enhance administrative and operational capabilities.
