Water and wastewater

  • Prior to your occupancy/possession date (minimum 5 days), please call the Customer billing department at 780-464-8272 or 780-464-8273 to establish your account.
  • Moving into a newly built home requires that you will also need to call Utilities at 780-467-7785 to arrange to have a water meter and remote installed in your home. We will schedule an appointment when you call to set up an account.
  • A remote for reading your water meter is/or will be attached to the outside of your home. This small black remote is usually located next to the electrical or gas meter. A clear path to this remote is essential. Please maintain this path by clearing snow and removing such items as hoses and toys.
