Remote Potable Water Hauling Subsidy

The Remote Potable Water Hauling Subsidy helps offset the cost of hauling potable water for eligible Saddle Hills County residents who are unable to connect to the Rural Potable Waterline, as outlined in Policy GB16

Eligible residences will receive a subsidy of $15 per cubic metre of potable water hauled, to a maximum of $1,800 (120 cubic metres) per residence, per calendar year. Please complete an application to be eligible for the subsidy. A separate application is required for each eligible residence.
To receive reimbursement, you must submit valid receipts by January 31 of the following calendar year. Receipts must show the date the water was hauled or purchased and the number of cubic metres purchased. The subsidy is reimbursed once per residence, per calendar year and applies to domestic water use only.

A new application and receipts are required each year to remain eligible for the program. Separate applications are required for each eligible residence. To participate, complete a Remote Potable Water Hauling Subsidy Application online or submit a paper application to the County office during regular business hours or by mail to:
