North Country water line nearing capacity

The North County Potable Water Project is close to maxing out on available water units.
In a recent report to the County of Lethbridge council the water co-operative reported 790 units are available through the project and there are currently close to 500 members signed on for almost 700 units.
“We’re getting close to a sold out position,” said Bill Hamman, president of the co-op.
The project is a two-part project with 130 units available in the Nobleford area and 660 available on the Diamond City to Picture Butte line. Hamman said the project is in great shape in terms of the number of units spoken for and is not working with MPE Engineering to try and bring the overall cost of the project down.
The co-operative was considering a request to provide service in the Sundial area to residents of the M.D. of Taber who have land situated near the border with the County of Lethbridge. Hamman said when the project was first initiated there was some discussion within the co-op that service could be provided to the county line and resident in the M.D. would than be responsible for the cost of getting the water to their property.
