Sparwood council has approved a contract for a bulk water station in the community.
Speers Construction Incorporated was awarded $308,288 plus taxes for the work.
The Bulk Water Station project was started to provide a controlled and metered location for bulk water access.
Currently, bulk water is supplied from a hydrant located in the Public Works yard.
The issue is that it requires utility operators to install fittings and manually administer access to users.
The project also includes installing a generator to provide backup power to both the bulk water station and the Sparwood Drive Lift Station.
