New truck fill station in Wildwood

The new Wildwood bulk water station is officially operational for existing and new bulk water account holders.

Also known as bulk water stations or waterman’s tap, these stations provide highquality drinking water. To protect the water quality and ensure that bulk water remains contaminant free, customers must provide their own clean connection hose. Water hauling containers should not be used for other purposes.

This bulk water dispensing station is turn-key, self-contained, insulated, and maintenance friendly. The stations cannot be accessed by credit card or cash and will require users to apply for a bulk water credit application.

The Wildwood bulk water station, operated by Yellowhead County Utilities, serves residential, commercial, and industrial water haulers. The water provided is the same water as the Hamlet of Wildwood. The Wildwood Bulk Water truck fill station was commissioned on Jan 9, 2018.

This new bulk water fill station will provide the following benefits to truck fill users:

• Upgraded infrastructure to prevent pump breakdowns and maintenance issues.

• Sufficient storage capacity to prevent pump shutdowns from high usage.

• Site security to: o Deter vandalism. o Protect water quality. o Prevent rate increases

The fill station is accessible 24/7 and the connections are 4” female camlock with a delivery rate of 15 l/sec. or a 2” female camlock at 6 l/sec.

The water station is located behind the Yellowhead County East Services Building at 53404 Range Road 92A (south of Highway 16) in Wildwood.
