Water Quality
The PRRD must meet Northern Health Standards to ensure our water stations provide safe, drinkable water for households. We do this by filtering the water to remove physical impurities and disinfecting it to kill harmful pathogens. These steps help maintain high water quality and protect community health. We also manage water distribution to the airport subdivision.
Water Treatment Stations
Our water treatment stations play a crucial role in ensuring residents have access to reliable and safe water. Each facility has unique operational requirements based on their water sources and regulatory permits. They vary in storage capacity, chlorine residual levels and treatment processes to ensure water quality meets health standards and is compliant with Northern Health regulations.
