Water & Sewer

About our Water System

The Town of Woodstock water is closely monitored by a water team that follows a strict Department of Environment and local Government approval to operate, making sure chlorine samples meet or exceed set limits daily, and weekly samples are taken by trained staff and submitted to an accredited lab to ensure the water is safe to drink. All results are closely monitored by the lab, town staff and The Provincial Department of Health.

The Town of Woodstock has two wells 150 ft deep, a well house and a water treatment facility located on an island in the middle of the St. John River housing North America's First Biological Manganese Removal filter.  Treated drinking water flows through an extensive network of almost 54 KM of pipe. The Town has 3 water storage tanks holding 85,000 Gal (3217m3) and 5 booster stations to provide adequate water pressure. These parts of infrastructure assist in transporting water throughout the system and to your homes and places of work.

About our Sewer System

Early in 2005 Woodstock introduced a new 136,000 m3 aerated wastewater treatment lagoon. This lagoon was designed to handle Woodstock's community plus future growth and still maintain highly treated levels of effluent following federal regulations, monitored by town staff and Department of Environment and local Government.  All wastewater reaches the lagoon by a network of 55 km of gravity main lines, 8 sewage lift stations and almost 3KM of force main pipes.  Lift stations which feed the force mains are checked daily to ensure they are working correctly.
