Okotoks has partnered with EPCOR to design, build, operate and maintain the Town's water and sewer utilities for 20 years.
The first major project was an $11.2 million upgrade of the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) completed in Fall 2006. This upgrade will allow the Town to grow from its present population of 15,000 to its desired build out population of 30,000.
Project Facts
