Water Stations

If you are not on the municipal water system or if you do not have access to potable water, there are two user-pay water dispensing stations where you can fill up cisterns and portable containers in the City of Kenora.

The stations dispense water from the City of Kenora water system; it is clean potable water.

Upgrades at the water stations

Both Crawford and Evergreen water stations are upgraded to a new key-fob system.

The new key-fobs are available for purchase at City Hall. Water cards are no longer accepted and can be exchanged at City Hall for the new key-fob. If there is an account balance, it will be transferred to your new account at no additional cost. New customers purchase the new key-fob for $25. There is no change to the cost of the water.
