Water Service

For public works emergency after hours and on weekends, please call 780-984-9584.

Water Service Overview

The Town of Legal receives its water supply from the City of Edmonton through a regional water line. The water comes into the Town’s Water Treatment Plant and is monitored by the public works department. Residents receive this utility through the water distribution system.

The Town is responsible for maintenance of the water distribution system which includes water mains, valves and service line stubs.

Property owners are responsible for the care and maintenance of water lines once the connection reaches the property line.

Note: new construction may be subject to added fees and costs which are addressed during the development permit application process.

Water Rates:

$74.50 for the first 9 cubic meters (bi-monthly)
$1.52 for each additional cubic meter used
