Water Treatment And Delivery

The Town of Fort Macleod operates the Water Treatment Plant and distribution system in Town. All water sold thru the Town system is metered.

The Town's water intake is located on the banks of the Oldman River and collects a combination of subsurface and surface water. The quality of raw water entering the treatment plant is normally quite high meaning minimal treatment is normally required. However, spring runoff has created some difficulties in the past. New filters commissioned in August 2002 should eliminate these occasional problems.
