The West Elgin Secondary Water System The West Elgin Secondary Water System consists of the Rodney elevated water tank and a water distribution system.

There are a number of initiatives relating to the secondary water system currently underway, including continually expanding the secondary water distribution systems to service an increasing portion of their rural residents. The expanded secondary water systems will increase the amount of water purchased from the West Elgin Primary Water System. The Management Plan will integrate the proposed changes to the distribution system, as well as other future capital expansions or upgrades that are either currently planned or that may be needed during the term of the plan. |
The population of West Elgin currently is approximately 5,450, but the secondary water distribution system currently has only 1,666 customers, servicing approximately 3,400 residents (62% connected). It is anticipated that by the end of the 20 year term of this plan, most if not all residents will be connected to the municipal distribution system.
