We’re improving the bulk water station!

Construction on the bulk water station starts May 24th and is scheduled for completion in Fall 2021.

The Bulk Water Station will remain open during construction, but service will be reduced to one bay as the concrete pads are replaced. Once construction is finished the bulk water station will have new concrete pads and a new snow melt heating system.

We ask bulk water station users to be patient while construction crews work on site, and to plan for service delays.

Thank you for your cooperation.
