Water Supply
The water supply is owned and operated by the Town of Bow Island. The raw water supply is from the St. Mary River Irrigation District. The town has on-site raw water storage in excess of 150 million gallons.

Waste Management
Sewage is disposed through a lagoon system, which provides for 300 days of retention. Engineering studies are underway for expansion to the water treatment plant.

Chemical can disposal is undertaken at the North Forty Mile Regional Land Fill site that is located 3 miles north of Bow Island.

Municipal garbage collection takes place 3 times per week for commercial and industrial facilities and once per week for residential pickup. All disposals are at the North Forty Mile Regional Landfill site.
