I remember that very well - I was very impressed, and I wonder if it was ever adopted by other sites in the province.

They appear to be still extant in some way; there's more information here.

HI Pat,

You may be thinking of one of two Solar Aquatics installations, one in Beaverbank, one in Bear River. I'm attaching my report (from 1996) on a field trip to  Beaverbank. The concept must have been ahead of its time, apparently not supported by government and allowed to wither away. Too bad. I visited both and was very enthusiastic about the idea, as were the communities served by the systems.
