Flagstaff County offers seven water loading stations within the municipality. The water at these stations is not treated and is therefore non-potable. These wells contain levels of arsenic over the guidelines for livestock watering. The water is only to be used for agricultural and fire purposes.

Due to theft and vandalism, the cash boxes have been removed from our water loading stations. That means the water is now free for the duration of 2025 as part of a pilot project.

The stations remain coin-operated, so you will still need a loonie or toonie to get the water flowing, but you will immediately get your coin back.

The following five stations operate year-round.

• NE 11-44-11-W4 (northeast Lougheed)
• SE 27-41-16-W4 (southwest of Forestburg)
• SW 10-45-16-W4 (Daysland)
• SE 2-43-13-W4 (southwest of Sedgewick)
• NE 3-44-14-W4 (southwest of Killam)

The following two stations operate on a seasonal basis, typically from April to October:

• NE 8-41-12-W4 (northeast of Alliance)
• SW 27-41-10-W4 (south of Hardisty)
