Town of Valleyview

What Town of Valleyview does

The Town of Valleyview is a municipal government corporation established in 1957, located in Alberta, Canada, at the intersection of Highway 43 and Highway 49. It provides essential municipal services to approximately 1,752 residents within a regional trading area of approximately 5,000 people, including water treatment and distribution, wastewater management, solid waste collection and recycling, natural gas distribution, road maintenance, recreation facilities (Polar Palace Arena and Municipal RV Park), and coordination of public safety services through RCMP and emergency partners. The Town is governed by an elected Council comprising Mayor Glenn Burke and six Councillors for the 2025-2029 term, with administrative leadership under a Chief Administrative Officer and operational departments covering Community Services, Corporate Services, Public Works, and Utility Services.

The Town's core technical infrastructure centers on its Waterworks System, which operates under Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act (EPEA) Approval No. 1248-04-02, amended to permit chloramination as a secondary disinfectant. Water distribution is organized into four zones (H-Industrial, S-South of Mainstreet, N-North of Main, R-Red Willow Subdivision) for targeted maintenance and management. Other operational assets include a zone-based natural gas distribution system with scheduled cathodic protection surveys, an annual hydrant flushing program, residential large-item and yard waste collection, and the Univerus Recreation software platform for online facility calendars and program registration. Public engagement is supported through a digital Brainstorm Board (authenticated via Google) for participatory budgeting and community idea submission.

The Town's revenue model relies on annual property taxes (due July 31) and tiered monthly utility fees covering water, sanitary sewer, solid waste, and recycling services. For 2026, utility rates have been restructured to achieve full cost recovery, with a phased Infrastructure Replacement Fee introduced ($8.35/month in 2026 rising to $33.39/month by 2029+) to address the $1.3 million annual infrastructure replacement need identified in a 2018 Infrastructure Assessment. Services are delivered through three channels: a walk-in administration office at 4909 50th Street in Valleyview, a self-serve online portal, and field service operations. Distribution is restricted to a single domestic geography (Valleyview, Alberta) with no external market expansion, and operational partnerships include MD of Greenview for shared utilities, Alberta Health Services for healthcare delivery, and Alberta Emergency Management Agency for emergency preparedness.
