Water Valve Operation/Turn Requests

In June 2016, the City of Airdrie Water Works Bylaw stipulates that ONLY a City of Airdrie employee who is a certified operator can operate water mainline valves. This has been done in order to ensure only the highest quality of water reaches our residents.

Water Services and Engineering Services have developed the following forms for contractors to fill out in order to request assistance when water mains are put into service, repaired and to have hot taps installed.

The following forms are available:

• Water Main In-Service Form: When requesting to fill mainlines with water, disinfecting, and putting into service.
• Water Valve Operation Request Form: When requesting to have mainline valves operated for the purposes of repairs, maintenance, or inspections.
• Hot Tap Form: When requesting valves to be throttled for the purposes of installing a hot tap.

We appreciate your cooperation and commitment in working with us to ensure these processes are followed.
