The Town obtains its water from two sources -- Holland Creek and Stocking Lake.
The water supply system has the capacity to provide quality drinking water to a population of up to 15,000. Water is a very precious resource, and therefore the Town is taking several measures to encourage citizens to reduce consumption, including:
- Implementation of water restrictions during the dry season
- Installation of water meters at all residences and businesses to help determine and repair any leaks in the system and to monitor consumption
- Distribution of educational water-wise mail-outs to all households
- Implementation of regulations making low-flow toilets mandatory in all new construction and renovations
- Installation of low-flow toilets in all municipal facilities
- Undertaking capital upgrades to the water supply system
