Safeeya Pirani visits the water treatment plant for the Britannia Mine.
The mine is now home to the Britannia Mine Museum, but for 70 years it was an operational mine supplying much of the world's copper.
The plant addresses the environmental impact the mine left behind when it closed in 1974.
Before the plant was put into operation, acid drainage from the mine was seeping into Howe Sound.
Now, that water is treated before being discharged.
