Effective January 1, 2021, Bruderheim will move to a consumption-based water rate system. Rates will now be based on consumption, similar to other consumption-based utilities, such as gas and electricity. The less water you use, the lower your bill will be. Meters will also be read monthly for more accurate bills. These changes will create a more fair and equitable utility rate structure that promotes water conservation.

Prepaid Bulk Water Accounts can be set up at the Bruderheim Town Office, and the fill station is located at the Public Works office.  After completing the appropriate form, an access code will be provided to you, and the account will require a 4 digit pin number.  The access code and pin number will be your responsibility, so please keep this information in a safe place.

Fill Station Location:

5324 - 52 Avenue

Water

• Bruderheim gets its water from the Vegreville Water Corridor.
• The Town does not have a treatment facility, but rather has a 2,273 cubic meter capacity reservoir with distribution pumps. The 44 hydrants within the Town are serviced twice per year. Chlorine levels within the water are tested each working day, and four samples per month test for bacteria content.

Sewer

• Wastewater is treated with a lagoon system, which utilizes natural processes
• Lagoons are maintained by Public Works under regulations set out by the Alberta Environment Wastewater Code of Practice
• Lagoon effluent is tested and released once per year each spring
