In the following table, material data are given with a pressure of 611.7 Pa (equivalent to 0.006117 bar). Up to a temperature of 0.01 °C, the triple point of water, water normally exists as ice, except for supercooled water, for which one data point is tabulated here. At the triple point, ice can exist together with both liquid water and vapor.
Construction of the tunnel between Coquitlam Lake and Buntzen Lake began in 1902 and finished in 1905, supplying water to powerhouses on Indian Arm, which supplied electricity to Vancouver. [ 2 ] The first Coquitlam Dam , built to raise the water level by 5 feet (1.52 m), was begun in April 1904 and completed in 1905.

The resulting increase in the water supply made it possible to fill four cisterns, ranging in size from 25,000 to 60,000 imperial gallons (114,000 to 276,000 L) to provide a reserve of water for fire protection. [6] Coe and Martin formed the Spring Ridge Water Works Company in 1864, serving the city until 1875.
[24] [25] An updated cost projection was released in May 2011 placing the estimated cost at $7.9 billion, [26] which was revised to $8.3 billion in 2014. [25] This does not include the cost of a transmission line to major population centers, estimated in the $743 million additional range, bringing the total estimated cost to approximately $9 ...
Buntzen Lake was used in another power generating plant, Burrard Generating Station, a gas-powered plant, where the lake water was used to produce steam for the generators. This generating station was shut down in 2016. The area around the lake is managed by BC Hydro as a recreation site and visitors can swim, fish, hike, and boat on the lake.
