Newell Regional Treated Water and Sanitary Sewer Services Services Corporation Newell Regional Services Corporation (NRSC) is a municipal corporation that was formed between the City of Brooks, , Town of Bassano, and Villages of Duchess, Tilley and Rosemary. The Corporation was created as a body that would coordinate and pool resources with member communities to provide safe, effective and efficient water treatment and distribution. Previously, each community owned, operated and serviced individual water treatment plants, all incurring individual maintenance costs, repair costs and ascending budgets. Under the new NRSC, one single body ensures water is safely delivered and all services meet the rigid safety, quality and reporting parameters of Federal, Provincial, Local and Water Industry Standards.

In terms of administration, implementation involved each Council coming to agreement on the governing structure, name, participation, transfer of assets, membership on the Board of Directors and voting structure. Once these details were finalized and approved, the Board of Directors worked to draft a shareholders agreement and to obtain a Ministerial Order to form a municipal corporation. Once the agreement was approved and signed by all shareholders, other agreements also had to be drafted and negotiated such as the transfer of asset agreements and water supply agreements.

One huge success of this project was the delivery of safe drinking water to the Village of Tilley, approximately 25 kilometres east of Brooks. The village of Tilley, home to 400 people, was under a boil water advisory for three years and the lack of safe drinking water was acting as an obstacle to residential and commercial growth. Newell Regional Services Corporation was able to effectively lift the boil water advisory and bring this basic amenity back into the village.

The total cost of the project, which included major upgrades to water treatments facilities as well as a network of transmission lines, is estimated at $45 million. Under the Water for Life Program, the of Alberta provided a grant totalling $37 million with the City of Brooks and County of Newell providing the balance of funds.

Sunrise County, the Village of Nampa and Woodland Cree First Nation decided to form a partnership to provide drinking water to their residents. Given that municipal- First Nations partnerships are not common, the communities formed a steering committee and hired a consultant to do research and conduct workshops on what type of partnership to create (a society, commission, or corporation).

The partners decided to establish a corporation which would allow collective ownership and operation of the water system and require less ministerial oversight and allow faster decision making than the other options. Establishing the corporation took a great deal of time, money and effort with steps including:

 Conducting a feasibility study;  Forming a Governance and Technical Committees made up of administrative and elected officials;  Seeking approval from Indian and Northern Affairs and Municipal Affairs;  Ratifying a shareholder agreement, bylaws, franchise agreement and other related policies;  Establishing a process to handle a shareholder default or departure;  Commissioning the treatment plant and building regional pipelines; and  Setting water rates that reflect the true cost of consumption and enable more accurate utility investment planning.

Funding for the project came from the communities, INAC and Alberta Transportation. The Corporation became operational in 2010 and is still completing regional pipelines.

Allowing ample time for communication and trust building was key to the success of the partnership.
