In 1981, the present and future need for a Water Treatment Plant was identified for the Springbank Area along Range Road 33. As such, Calalta Waterworks Ltd. was established to compliment the operations of Calaway Park and construction began on a 10” inch waterline from the Elbow River to Calaway Park.
Springbank Park for All Seasons, the Springbank Elementary, Middle and High School, were among the initial customers to the water treatment plant. Since then, services have expanded to other businesses and residents as well as future developments in the area.
In September 2020, a Franchise Agreement between Calalta Waterworks and Rocky View County was officially approved establishing the utility service area for Calalta Waterworks.
The current Water Treatment Plant was commissioned for service in September 2015. The Ultra Membrane filtration plant uses state of the art technology in its operations, making it one of a kind in Western Canada, exceeding industry standards, which helps to ensure the highest quality, safe drinking water for all our customers. The system treats backwash to less than 5%, reducing our wastewater, in accordance with furthering environmental sustainability.
