The West Elgin Water Treatment Plant and Distribution System consists of approximately 180 kilometres of water main, an elevated storage tank in Rodney, and a standpipe in West Lorne which maintains pressure. We have over 1,700 active customers that use our system, which increases in the spring when our seasonal residents return. We are responsible for the services up to a property line and the meter on the premises. The property owner is responsible for the rest.
The Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) operates our water system. They provide us with water sampling and reporting. See our Water Plans and Reports for more information.
