Water and Utilities

Perth provides reliable water and utility services to all homes and businesses.

Our water treatment plant on Sunset Boulevard makes up to nine million litres of drinking water each day. With 41 kilometres of water pipes and a storage tank on Harvey Street, our team works every day to keep Perth's water safe and clean.

The sanitary sewer system has about 42 kilometres of pipes, with three pumping stations, and treats the sewage at our lagoon on Wildlife Road.

If you’re moving to a new home or starting a business in Perth, our water and sewer services are here for you. Hydro One provides electricity, and Enbridge Gas supplies natural gas.

Before You Dig

Many subdivisions have side yard and rear yard drainage areas, which might look like a shallow ditch or gentle slope. In some cases, the Town has the right to maintain or restore these areas if changes are made without approval, and we may bill property owners for repair costs. It’s best to check with the Town before changing the ground level on your property (like adding or removing soil) since it could cause drainage problems for your neighbors.

Planning to dig? You need a locate first. Contact Ontario One Call for a free locate by calling 1-800-400-2255 or book online.
