The
City of Grand Forks
has a complement of 18 union employees and two supervisors
to operate and maintain the public works department.
The City is one of five municipalities in the province
of B.C. that operates its own electric utility.
The operation of the electric utility is a revenue source
for the City of Grand Forks as well as allowing the
municipality to set its own fair and equitable rates
for our customers.
The water and sewer utilities are both assets
to the City of Grand Forks in their own right. The City's
abundant water comes from deep water wells - as deep
as two hundred and fifty feet. The City's water is pure
water. With this clean and reliable water system there
is no need for any type of purification. The sewage
treatment plant is state-of-the-art and is designed
to provide sewage treatment for a population of 4500
residents. The plant has the capability of expanding
to provide service for 7500 residents. The old sewage
lagoons beside the plant are used for storage of sludge
waste.
Rounding out the public works department are the Roads
and Grounds Department and the Facilities and Parks
Departments. These departments look after the many City
assets ensuring that the City of Grand Forks incredible
aesthetic value is maintained to its optimum, with a
keen eye on practicality and safety.
We welcome your input on any and all
facets of the City Public works.
