Let’s all do our part.
Whether you take to the beach
for some afternoon fun or hike
deep into the bush, enjoying
our region’s unspoiled beauty
means we all need to do our part
to keep it that way. As a rule of
thumb when camping or hiking,

Water & Utilities
The Water & Utilities
department provides homes
and businesses with reliable,
quality water and wastewater
systems, and responds to
any emergencies or concerns
that arise. 2017’s projects
planned for the MD have
been completed, with just the
Town of Slave Lake Raw Line
Project still ongoing. The Smith
Lift Station and Forcemain
Replacement Projects are
on target for completion this
summer. The MD anticipates
the arrival of the new $176,000
Smith Water Plant Membrane
Upgrade. Southshore
Membranes will require a
service visit by Suez (Zenon)
with a potential of requiring
replacement. Replacements,
if required, will cost at least
$400,000 in addition to
programming upgrades.
Waste — and how we choose to handle it — affects our world’s
environment. That’s YOUR environment…everything that surrounds
you including the air, water, land, plants and man-made things.
of your waste accordingly. The MD
also provides a variety of ways to
help divert recyclable materials from
the landfills. Stores like Staples and
Shoppers Drug Mart accept regular
and rechargeable batteries, used ink
cartridges and compact fluorescent
light bulbs. Each spring, the MD
also helps encourage clean-up
activities by providing special litter
and recycling bags, coordinating
waste removal, and supplying
t-shirts for the occasion! Let’s all
do our part by keeping Lesser
Slave River litter-free, recycling
what we can, and finding unique
and resourceful ways to reduce
the environmental impact on our
region. To learn more, please
