Always leave a place better than you found it. Here at Britannia, the EPCOR Britannia Mines Water Treatment Plant ensures that Britannia is no longer the great polluter it once was. Instead, Britannia is paving the way in environmental remediation. In Legacies students will examine the process of the water treatment plant. Students will leave with an understanding of the importance of having a clean-up plan in place before mining begins.
