Water:
The Town of Claresholm water system is operated as a self supported public utility as defined in the Municipal Government Act. Consumers are assured of a continuous, safe supply of potable water which meets public health standards, is aesthetically acceptable, adequate in volume and pressure, and operated in a cost effective manner with the latest technological developments. Claresholm receives its water supply from Willow Creek which runs 6 km (4 mi.) west of town. In compliance with Provincial Water Resources Act, the Clean Water Act and other provincial regulations, the Town is licensed to divert water from the Willow Creek to operate the Claresholm Water Treatment Plants. In 1989, the new water treatment facility was completed. This $ 2,500,000 project increased Claresholm's water storage capacity by 61,000,000 gallons. This new facility is filled mostly during the winter months from the Willow Creek. The combined rated capacity of both plants is 1,200,000 gallons per day. The Town will supply water to any consumer within the town. The quality of water produced in Claresholm is excellent. It is continuously sampled and tested to ensure it meets the standards set out by the local health authority.

Residential Water and Sanitary Sewer Rates:

SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM
Claresholm is serviced by a 140 acres lagoon system. The total length of sanitary sewer pipe is 34.36 km.

STORM SEWER SYSTEM
The town also operates a separate storm sewer system that helps prevents flooding by diverting rain and snow melt into the nearest water course. The total network of underground pipes is 10.80 km. Surface water enters the storm sewer system through curb-side storm drains and flows by gravity to various water channels located throughout the town, such as Frog Creek. Located at The Bridges Golf Course are standing water retention pools where water diverted from Frog Creek is stored and then used to irrigate the golf course.
