The Town of Faro was established as a mining town in 1968 and today, is home to about 348 residents.

The water source for the Town of Faro Large Public Drinking Water System (LPDWS) consists of three groundwater wells (Wells 1, 2 and 3) located in an undeveloped area near the confluence of the Pelly River and Vangorda Creek.  Water Treatment is done through UV and chlorine disinfection.

The Town of Faro retained OPUS DaytonKnight as the main consultant, to design the pumphouse no. 3 and disinfection system replacement and related facilities.

As part of the design team, Integral Engineering was responsible for structural design of a 7.5 m x 12 m one storey post disaster timber building consisting of a timber truss on top of timber walls on top of heavy reinforced base slab on piles. We also provided the construction services including the site RFIs, Change orders, material test review and certification of the completed work.
