stablished in 1984, the Capital Region South-
west Water Services Commission (CRSWSC)
has grown as a regional co-operation to provide
clean, safe drinking water to approximately 65,000 resi-
dents of seven member municipalities south of Edmonton,
AB, including the City of Leduc, Leduc County, Town of
Beaumont, Town of Calmar, Village of Hay Lakes, Camrose
County and the Town of Millet.
The Commission purchases its water directly from EPCOR
Water Services, derived from two Edmonton-based major
water treatment plants and sourcing water from the North
Saskatchewan River. Water is provided to the member
municipalities through the CRSWSC transmission system,
who then serve their customers directly. The CRSWSC
closely monitors and controls flow rates, chlorine residu-
als, pressures and reservoir levels for each of the member
municipalities and also works closely with the Regional
Water Customers Group for long-range planning, rate
negotiation and coordination of water supply.
