Taber 

 
Taber, a southern Alberta town of 7,800 residents, is known for its agricultural services and food processing industries. The community’s economy depends on a reliable treated water and wastewater system. Therefore, the Town chose a 20 year utility management contract with EPCOR to run its entire municipal water system.  The Town continues to own the water and wastewater assets, set rates and bill customers.

EPCOR also designed and built upgrades to Taber’s wastewater treatment facilities and north storm water system.  With modern treatment technology such as ultraviolet disinfection, biological nutrient removal processes and remote monitoring, the $18.5 million upgrades now allow Taber to meet new Alberta Environment water regulations and support future growth.
 

Current Community Information

• The upgraded wastewater treatment plant began operation in the beginning of 2009.

Water Treatment Facts

• Taber’s water supply originates from the Chin Lake Reservoir and Taber Irrigation District Canal and is delivered to the Town by means of a gravity main and irrigation canals respectively.
• Untreated water is also available within the town, primarily for the major food processing industries, irrigation of the golf course and other green areas.
