Description
This project expanded the potable water supply and storage capacity at the River Heights reservoir by adding two new concrete in-ground reservoir cells next to the existing one. A new stormwater pipe was also installed along River Heights Drive to improve water management in the area.
Background
The River Heights reservoir and pump station serve most of the town south of the river and must be expanded to support continued development in this area. Phase 1 of the project, completed in fall 2024, included upgrades to the River Heights pump station.
How does this project benefit the community?
This project enhanced Cochrane’s water infrastructure, ensuring a reliable water supply and storage for residents. By expanding the system now, we are preparing for future community growth while also strengthening our ability to respond to emergencies with increased water storage capacity.
