Shared outcomes for Edmonton's water treatment plants

Our shared outcomes for future water treatment plant work

In November 2020, EPCOR began planning for future work at our Rossdale and E.L. Smith Water Treatment Plants (WTPs) in Edmonton. We invited community members, including Indigenous communities and First Nations, special interest groups, residents, recreational user groups, community league representatives and individuals who have interest in the WTPs. This community engagement work helped us to better understand how we can operate the plants in an environmentally and socially responsible manner that aligns with community interests.

We established five shared outcome statements for the Edmonton water treatment plants and refined them in response to feedback from special interest groups, recreational users, residents, and Indigenous peoples. These shared outcomes will guide our work at the Rossdale and E.L. Smith Water Treatment Plants moving forward.

• Shared outcomes and design principles​ (finalized in early 2022)
• What we heard report​, which details community engagement that led to the development of the shared outcomes
• Watch our short videos on quality of life, safety, relationship, environment and reliable, responsible and sustainable​.​​​

So, how will EPCOR achieve these sh​​​ared outcomes? 

In order to define how we will achieve these goals, we've developed a set of high-level design principles for each shared outcome statement. We will incorporate these design principles into our planning documents for our two water treatment plants. Together with the shared outcomes, they will provide a framework to guide the evolution of the Rossdale and E.L. Smith sites.
