The City of Calgary
Water Treatment and Supply
The City of Calgary provides safe, reliable drinking water to over one million Calgarians and members of the surrounding communities of Airdrie and Chestermere. Two water treatment plants and a complex network of underground pipes, water mains, reservoirs and pump stations deliver this valuable resource to our customers each day.
Wastewater Collection and Treatment
The wastewater system protects public health and the environment by collecting and treating wastewater from residences, schools, hospitals, businesses and industries. Wastewater enters the system through sinks, toilets, bathtubs and major appliances where it travels through underground pipes before arriving at one of three wastewater treatment plants for treatment. It is then returned to the river.
Stormwater Management
This service collects and manages the water from rain or snow and ice melt, and moves it to the nearest river or creek through storm drains, pipes and ponds. It helps to protect you, your property and our environment.
Blue Cart Program
The Blue Cart Program is a weekly residential recycling pick-up service for single family dwellings up to and including four-plexes.
Green Cart Program
The Green Cart Program is a food and yard waste pick-up service for single family dwellings up to and including four-plexes. Carts are collected weekly in the summer season and every-other-week in the winter months.
Waste Management Charge
The program fees are calculated separately for each cart program based on the costs associated with collection and processing. The costs for each program vary seasonally but this is averaged out over the year to keep the fee consistent from month to month. Your monthly cart program fees are not a “per-collection” fee but cover all the components of the residential cart programs, including:
- Providing carts to Calgarians and cart maintenance
- Collection of material from your home
- Sorting, processing and disposing of material
- Education, outreach and program support
