Due to the prolonged period of little to no substantial rainfall, we would like to remind residents that bulk water filling is available for those needing larger quantities of water.
💧 Bulk Water Filling
The Municipality continues to offer bulk water filling for residents. While the Municipality is not able to deliver water, we can fill your totes or large tanks from the municipal system.
Please note that while the water supplied is from the potable water system, the Municipality makes no warranty or guarantee as to the quality or potability of the water whatsoever once it leaves the distribution system.
Price
The bulk water rate is $5.90/cubic meter (1000 liters) with a minimum charge of $40 per filling.
How to access this service
Residents wishing to have their totes filled will need to sign a waiver and pre-pay at the Municipal Office at 2357 Highway 206, Arichat.
