A Secure Water Future for Our Community
The Town of Milk River, in partnership with the County of Warner and the Villages of Warner and Coutts, is working on an important infrastructure improvement so our communities can have a reliable back-up water supply.
This project will construct of a water pipeline from Middle Coulee Creek to Milk River. This pipeline would provide an alternate source of water to the community's in case of emergencies, drought, or infrastructure failures. This project will help us be more independent and prepared for any future challenges.
How the Project Works
The project will:
- Make upgrades to the water intake infrastructure at Middle Coulee Creek Intake Pond
- Replace the raw water transmission line between Middle Coulee Creek and the Warner Water Treatment Plant (WTP) site
- Rehabilitate the Warner WTP raw water reservoirs so additional water may be stored
- Build a new raw water booster station in Warner so water may be pumped out of the reservoir
- Build a new raw water pipeline (27.6 km long) to Deliver water to Milk River from Warner
- Upgrade the Coutts Reservoir Pump House to improve water access.
Why This Matters
This system will serve as a backup water source to keep our communities safe and ensure we have water even in times of drought or system failures. This matters so our communities may have improved:
- Water Security – This project decreases our dependence on cross-border infrastructure.
- Drought Protection – This project helps to make sure we have enough water supply during dry seasons.
- Community Growth – This project provides the infrastructure needed to support future development in the region.
