| | Rural water treatment facilities will benefit from upcoming workshops on operational best practices and emergency response planning.
.
The Alberta Federation of Rural Water Co-operatives recently completed a best practices manual on enhanced operational guidelines. A $100,000 grant from the Government of Alberta will be used to establish workshops to discuss and develop customized emergency response plans and operational procedures for each unique facility.
"Water is a critical resource, and through this support we're helping rural water operators continue to deliver safe and clean drinking water," said Environment Minister Rob Renner. "The federation made a commitment to continuous improvement in their operations, and it is important to support that commitment."
The Alberta Federation of Rural Water Co-operatives represents 77 rural water co-ops in Alberta addressing the diverse needs of Alberta's rural residents and ensuring safe, secure water supply for both domestic and agricultural uses.
Alberta's treatment facilities are required to regularly improve their operation and management, upgrade to meet evolving standards and ensure long-term operational capacity. This project supports the goals and direction of Alberta's Water for Life strategy, a comprehensive water strategy for the province.
