Water Fill Stations

Users must acquire a permit first at City Hall. The applicants are required to pay a fee in the amount of $45 (applicable taxes included) to receive a key fob. This fob will be used to monitor users’ water withdrawal transactions. The key fob can be returned at any time for a refund of $25, providing that it is in good and working condition.

Key fobs are available at Mission City Hall at 8645 Stave Lake Street, lower floor.

The cost of a key fob is $45, due upon application.  The City will buy back returned fobs for $25.

The lost key fob will be deactivated to prevent unauthorized users to withdraw water at the Mill Pond water fill station.  You will need to apply for a new water permit and a replacement fee of $35 will be charged.

No, the filling stations are for residential users only who are not connected to the water system.

This fill station has not been upgraded at this time and no registration is required for using the station. Any future changes to how this station operates will be based on Council decisions and direction.

The station is not currently equipped with a power generator and hence will not operate during a power outage. Any future changes to make the station operational during a power outage will be based on Council decisions and direction.

Lengthy power outages rarely occur in Canada.  During a power outage, Public Works staff will work with BC Hydro to fix the problem and restore electricity at the Mill Pond water fill station as quickly as possible.  Power outages are caused by many different events including electrical storms, windstorms, vehicle accidents, and equipment failure.  If you are prepared, a power outage will not be a major inconvenience.  For example, having a private backup generator to withdraw water from your private well during these times would help you better control the situation.

Users may also choose to use the City’s second water fill station located at 32860 Mission Way (east of the sanitary dump), as this station will stay operational during a power outage.

Residential users are not being charged for the water and the city does not want residential users collecting water for commercial users.

A 51 mm (2 inch) female cam-lock will be needed.  Fittings are available or can be ordered by any plumbing store.

When ordering water, enter the amount you require in litres.

Once a property that has a fob attached to it is sold, the fob will become deactivated.

New owners must apply to the City to reactive the fob, free of charge, or purchase a new fob.
