MACKENZIE COUNTY
RURAL POTABLE WATER INFRASTRUCTURE
WATERLINE AND TRUCKFILLS

2. FUNDING
County has received funding but limitations have been put on annual contributions.
Letter has been received increasing funding levels for 2015/2016 from $110,044 to $1,060,593.
No information on limitations on funding for future years so County may have to “front end” some costs.
Signs required by the agreement have been made and will be installed prior to construction.

3. ALIGNMENT SELECTION
The general alignment is 3 metres east of the west boundary of Range Road 150.
Minimize property acquisition and avoids power poles.
Require property acquisition at south end and booster station.

5. ENVIRONMENT Waterline alignment will cross two Class “A” creeks.
Need to supply information required under the Code of Practice.
Migratory Bird Act and Wetlands may be an issue.
Will meet with Alberta Environment and Parks on February 2 to clarify requirements.

6. WATER MODELING
Waterline and truckfills will have limited impacted on water treatment plants.
Demand growth projections to be 2% for first 10 years and 0.5% thereafter.
Existing waterline on north end will be upsized or looped within 5 to 10 years.
Proposed looping contained in the Infrastructure Master Plans.

7. WATER MODELING

8. WATER MODELING (cont’d)
Large increase in demand during the summer months.
100 cubic metres per day added to account for trickle fill systems (300 population).
From 2016 to 2090 the water demand is projected to increase from 960 to 1,530 cubic metres per day.
200 mm pipe (8”) is adequate.
One booster station required and location shown on following page is approximate.

9. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Are recommending the use of HDPE pipe for leakage reduction and ease of installation.
Need survey and geotechnical in near future to complete design and apply for crossing agreements,
Standardizing the design of truckfills to reduce costs and streamline operations.
Property acquisition may impact design so should be started soon.

10. BUFFALO HEAD PRAIRIE Will require land acquisition
Can provide service to school.
