Description

This report summarizes the findings of the Waterworks Facility Assessment Study that was undertaken to identify short-term and long-term solutions to source, treatment and operational challenges in the supply of safe, secure drinking water in the Province of Alberta. One of the key objectives was to examine the potential for expanding the role of regional water delivery with a resulting reduction in the number of "stand-alone" water facilities. The intent being that a reduction in the total number of water treatment facilities in the Province would correspondingly reduce the number of systems at risk and through economies of scale improve the level of service to the public.
