The Engineering & Community Services Department operates several water systems for communities throughout the region.

A team of experienced and certified staff makes weekly visits to all water systems, checks the systems, and takes water samples for testing to ensure that the water remains safe and secure for our communities' needs.

The department is also responsible for enforcing regulations governing water systems, providing advice on new developments, and inspecting and approving new connections.
