The existing Water Treatment Plan (WTP) was originally constructed in the 1930's and has reached the end of its reliable life. The entire structure is seismically vulnerable, and the older sections are exhibiting signs of failure. As the longest continuously operating WTP in Oregon, the Grants Pass WTP is ready to retire and hand over its responsibilities to a new Replacement WTP, which has been named the Jason M. Canady WTP. The new facility will pick up where the aging treatment plant left off and continue to sustain the Grants Pass community and be in service for the next 100 years.

The Jason M. Canady WTP will be able to produce 22.5 million gallons per day (mgd) of potable water initially and be expanded to 33.75 mgd in the future.
