Update - October 10, 2025
In light of the recent news regarding the need for the Town of Virden to move off of our current aquifer due to a low supply of water, the Town is asking all citizens and businesses to assist us through this transition, and limit their water use, where possible. Thank you for your understanding.
In the past week, professional consultants engaged by the Manitoba Water Services Board (“MWSB”) have advised the Town and MWSB that the aquifer levels that the new Town wells are drawing from, are seriously low, with the consultant recommending the Town move off that aquifer as soon as possible. As a result of this recommendation, the Town has enacted our emergency response measures to ensure our water resources are protected and water access is not disrupted. In consultation with the professional consultants and MWSB, it has been determined the best course of action is to drill a new well at the old water source in the following weeks. This immediate action is being taken to ensure that ratepayers and businesses continue to have access to potable water.
The Town and our consultants are in discussions with the Office of Drinking Water and Public Health regarding this matter. The Town understands the importance of access to clean and viable drinking water, so we are taking all the appropriate steps in partnership with MWSB to ensure the Town has a safe water source.
Further information will be provided prior to the new well being put into production and providing water for our citizens.
For questions, please contact either: Mayor Tina Williams at t.williams@virden.ca, or CAO Rhonda Stewart at cao@virden.ca
