In the May 21, 2026 capital budget resolution council explicitly approved WTP/Liftstation Phase 2 and a reverse osmosis (RO) system as part of the 2026 Capital Budget and 2024‑2033 Capital Forecast. The CAO’s June 2026 report states that he has been focused on finalizing meetings with TEC and Associated Engineering regarding the WTP and 50 Street utility projects, and on completing funding grants for the 2026 and 2027 capital budget, with separate work underway to review grant options for the WTP and liftstation and no update yet from the Government of Alberta. This indicates that while conceptual scope and timing are set, funding and detailed delivery models for the WTP Phase 2 and RO system are still being assembled.Because grants and capital funding are not fully in place and no designers or constructors have been publicly selected for the WTP and RO works, these items remain in pre‑procurement planning. There is room for vendors and consultants in water treatment, liftstation upgrading, RO technology, grant strategy and alternative delivery to help the town refine phasing, evaluate technology options, and position strong applications to provincial and federal programs before the work is tendered.

TEC’s role is not fully described but they are meeting with the CAO regarding WTP and 50 Street utilities, suggesting they may be a technology or equipment partner; no award for WTP Phase 2 or RO work is recorded.
