Edmonton’s Water System Under Pressure | Edmonton News
Description
Edmonton’s city council is racing to accelerate a 20-year water infrastructure overhaul after record-breaking rains dumped over 265 millimeters in one month, triggering 34 thunderstorm days and costing hundreds of millions. Epcor, the city’s water provider, is reviewing rates—homeowners pay more than they use, while businesses pay less—and seeks fair adjustments without shocking bills. Though communication during storms was lacking, the existing system held strong, and officials are still tallying full storm costs. With new stormwater ponds already built and more under construction, the city hopes storm data will guide future priorities.
