New Area Added to Remote Potable Water Hauling Subsidy

Residents in the area known as Doe River, west of the Pouce Coupe River and south of the Peace River to the B.C. border, are eligible for Saddle Hills County's Remote Potable Water Hauling Subsidy, as of January 1, 2025.

The subsidy was created to provide a fair and equitable rate to Saddle Hills County residents who will not be able to connect to the Rural Potable Waterline.

As of 2024, the following areas are eligible:

1. Gundy, from Township Road 770 to Township Road 752, and from Range Road 125 west to the B.C. border.
2. Properties located at NE 35-78-13-W6 and NE 07-78-13-W6.

Eligible residences will receive subsidies at a rate of $15 per cubic meter, not exceeding 120 cubic meters, to a maximum of $1,800 per year. Please note that the subsidy will only be funded once per residence, per calendar year and that the water must be for domestic use only.

Each year, residents will be required to complete a Remote Potable Water Hauling Subsidy Application to be included in the subsidy. Before January 31 of the following calendar year, the same form will need to be completed with the inclusion of receipts. 

You must submit valid documentation showing the date the water was hauled or purchased within the year and the number of cubic meters purchased. This documentation will then be used to reimburse you.
