The residents and businesses within
the municipalities receive water from
the CRSWSC, which includes approxi-
mately 120 kilometres of transmission
pipeline. The Edmonton International
Airport (EIA) is a large customer
of Leduc County, also receiving
water from the CRSWSC transmis-
sion system. In 2017, the CRSWSC
provided 5,650,000 m3 of water to
their member municipalities.
ChairmanRick Smith, of Leduc County,
says the CRSWSC continually strives
to maintain reasonable water rates
while saving for future infrastructure
requirements. On January 1, 2019, The
City of Edmonton will annex (20,402
acres) from Leduc County, which will
impact the CRSWSC’s jurisdiction.
“One of the challenges the CRSWSC
is currently working with is properly
understanding and responding to
