Operational Support

System Flushing

We provide support in flushing distribution systems to help remove stagnant water or build up within the system. Depending on the system configuration we can provide local flushing or uni-directional flushing through the entire system. 

Water Sampling

Our experienced field technicians are OCB certified and can collect water samples after repairs or replacements. We can also provide on-site support for chlorination and testing. 

Fire Hydrant Capacity Testing

We provide fire capacity testing. This includes single Hydrant Capacity testing and Main Capacity testing. Testing is completed in alignment with the recommendations outlined in NFPA 291 and AWWA M17. Fire capacity testing is generally required at 5 year intervals.

Frozen Water Service Lines

Most water service lines in Saskatchewan are close to 3 meters in the ground. When the frost reaches a depth near the service line to your house or business there is a possibility that the line will freeze. Whether or not the line will freeze is dependent on a number of factors but once it is frozen it is unlikely to thaw on it's own until the frost is gone in the spring.

We are able to thaw the line from within the property without excavating or the use of heavy equipment. Most lines can be thawed and return water to the property within a few hours. 

Thawing the water line can cause a minimum disruption to your normal day to day life and bring you back to normal water service without the use of temporary water lines from neighbors or bottled water.
