The Village of Radium Hot Springs' public works department is responsible for the day to day administration, operation and maintenance of Village infrastructure, such as buildings, parks and roads. Public works also operates and maintains the water treatment plant and distribution system as well as the wastewater collection and treatment system.

Water Treatment Plant

The Water Treatment Plant is a state of the art facility which is fully compliant with Interior Health's water quality standards. At the plant's intake site, there is a settling basin capable of holding one million gallons. Downstream there is another settling basin with a five million gallon capacity. The plant itself houses two multi-filter trains as well as chlorine and, as of 2009, UV disinfection. There are also two reservoirs located on the property. The plant currently runs at 50% capacity.

Water Conservation

Water conservation measures are in effect from July 1st until September 30th of each year:  No watering of lawns and gardens from 10:00 am till 6:00 pm. (Note: watering during the heat of the day is ineffective resulting in evaporation and waste of valuable water). Odd numbered buildings / properties may water on odd numbered days. Even numbered buildings/properties may water on even numbered days.  Help us protect a valuable resource and keep costs down!  Your cooperation is greatly appreciated! 

Sewer Treatment Plant

The Sewer Treatment Plant consists of a blower building with three blowers. There are also two partially aerated lagoons, a complete aeration mix tank and six infiltration basins. The Sewer Treatment Plan currently operates at 80% capacity. Designs and upgrades are currently in the development process.

Snow Removal

The Village strives to maintain its streets and sidewalks in as safe as possible condition.  The municipality's main objective is to provide a cost effective program of snow removal and ice control which allows for the safe and orderly movement of emergency equipment, vehicle traffic, and pedestrians within the municipal boundaries.  Service is available on a 24 hour coverage for sanding and snow removal on arterial and residential routes during the snow season (mid October - mid March).  We remind all residents when clearing snow that it is unlawful to pile, throw or shovel snow onto the Village's roads or right of ways.  Each storm brings its own challenges, and not all residents can be satisfied as quickly as we would like.  So please take extra care and time to arrive at your destination.
