Water

Water services are sourced from the La Salle River[1] and is treated by a Water Treatment Plant located in Sanford. In 2016 an application to the Manitoba Water Services Board to expand the raw water storage facility by adding a fourth pond with a 90 dam3 capacity was made. Included in the project was a new aeration system for all four ponds.[1]
