Water
The City of Laurie has a water system servicing the majority of the main corridors and several subdivisions throughout the City. Under certain circumstances, these water mains can be extended to other parts of the City depending on the specific requirements of the development making the request.
Continuing to upgrade the system is something the Board is looking at annually. One of the most visible upgrades is the program of adding fire hydrants where the system will support it. This is important since the original funding criteria of the system would allow for the installation of fire hydrants.
Sewer
90% of the sewer mains are forced mains. This requires grinders on most new sewer customers. The grinders can be purchased through the city at the customer’s cost. The city will maintain equipment after installation.
