The City of Leduc is committed to maintaining safe, clean, and reliable water services for its residents.
By carefully managing water and wastewater systems, Leduc aims to preserve water quality, prevent contamination, and support environmental health. Key services include wastewater treatment, sewer system maintenance, regular water main flushing, and backflow prevention, each designed to keep the water supply safe and infrastructure in optimal condition.
Leduc’s wastewater treatment system handles household and business waste, ensuring it is treated and returned to the environment safely. This process maintains water quality and protects local ecosystems. Residents play a role by conserving water and responsibly disposing of waste to avoid clogging and damage to treatment systems — specifically, avoiding items like fats, oils, or flushable wipes.
The City’s sewer system moves wastewater safely through underground pipes and pumps to treatment facilities. Residents are encouraged to avoid flushing or pouring hazardous items, such as chemicals, paints, or medications down drains. Such items can corrode pipes, disrupt treatment processes, and threaten local water quality.
Each year, Leduc completes water main flushing to clear mineral buildup and sediment from pipes, ensuring that drinking water remains fresh and high quality. During flushing, temporary discoloration may occur, which is harmless and can be resolved by running cold water for a few minutes.
To prevent contamination in the water supply, Leduc runs a cross-connection control program, requiring backflow prevention devices in commercial properties and multi-residential buildings. Annual testing ensures these devices work correctly, protecting the city’s drinking water from potential pollutants caused by reverse water flow.
