    Hi Royle,

    Thanks for reaching out; that is a great question. The taps in the lakeshore washroom are water-saving. Sensor taps reduce water usage anywhere from 30% to 60% compared to traditional taps. Water is saved by the automatic shut-off, reduced flow rates, and the way people tend to use the taps.

    The outdoor showers also have water-saving timer buttons. The buttons automatically shut off and save a lot of water.

    All the water in Sylvan Lake’s water system comes from groundwater. Groundwater comes from aquifers, and surface water comes from water bodies such as lakes and rivers. Please read pages 4 – 5 of the Your Water brochure to learn about groundwater and surface water.

    Sincerely,
    The Town of Sylvan Lake
