Activities

The Manitoba Water Services Board enters into agreements with municipalities and/or water co-operatives to deliver sustainable water and wastewater infrastructure that enhances economic development while improving public health and environmental concerns.  The board also operates a number of water supply and treatment facilities on behalf of the municipalities.  Cost of operation and maintenance is recovered through (wholesale) water sales.  The Manitoba Water Services Board leads the development of sustainable water and wastewater infrastructure and provides project management for major infrastructure projects for other departments.  The board conducts feasibility studies and environmental impact assessments for developing inter-municipal or regional infrastructure services.
