24 Jun What We Heard – Rural Water Expansions
Special Areas is investigating the potential of expanding a number of existing potable water systems based off the Henry Kroeger Regional Water Services Commission (HKRWSC). To support this feasibility work, MPE a division of Englobe, is updating historical feasibility work based on current residences and potential users in the area. This work is focused on the following areas:
- Watts area
- Scapa area
- Spondin area (Hanna East Water Co-op)
- Cessford area
- Oyen (west) area
- Cappon area
- Youngstown area
Open houses were hosted in May 2025 to share this information, and to request feedback from potential users in these areas. Respondents were asked to share their feedback, including level of interest and preferred service levels, through a quick survey. Feedback collected through the open houses and the survey were shared with MPE and will inform the next stage of feasibility work.
