Cochrane's water distribution system consists of approximately 150 km of water mains, seven storage reservoirs and ten booster stations. There are also 19 vaults and nearly 430 fire hydrants.
Every building serviced with town water has a water meter to register consumption; meters are read monthly. Due to our topography, the distribution system is very dynamic with multiple pressure zones supplying water to various subdivisions either by natural gravity or by booster stations.
