Water Conservation

Although we draw our water from a large lake with seemingly unlimited capacity, good water is being recognized as an increasingly valuable resource.

Pumping, filtering and treating surface water to provincial standards costs more and more money each year. Each of us can help by using water in the most efficient way possible.
