Certified operators, running the system day and night.
WILD's regional transmission system and truck fill stations are run by provincially certified water operators, responsible for monitoring flow, pressure, and water quality across the network around the clock.
Operators respond to alarms, coordinate maintenance and repairs, and work directly with member communities to keep service uninterrupted.

Applying for a new service connection.
WILD deals exclusively with our members to facilitate new connections and service expansions. This process is managed through our Connection and Tap-Off Bylaw, as revised from time to time. For individuals or developers wanting to get connected, the best place to start is by making the request to your local municipality. The municipality will then review and advance the request to WILD for final approval. This process ensure that the local authority, which is allocated only a limited system volume, has a role in prioritizing connections that fit their water distribution plans and local priorities.
