Integration of the Horseshoe Resort (Freed Developments) Zone 1 Drinking Water System to the Municipal Horseshoe Highlands Drinking Water System has been an integral part of the Township’s capital and corporate strategic planning process for several years.
This project will provide Municipal control over the drinking water supply, treatment, and distribution for identified properties currently serviced by the private Horseshoe Resort (Freed Developments) Zone 1 Drinking Water System. Integration includes the technical components and required steps to facilitate connection to the Municipal Horseshoe Highlands Drinking Water System.
In 2020, this capital project was placed on hold due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, which created challenges pertaining to installation of water meters and related access to private homes.
In 2025, through Council’s endorsement of the Township’s 2025 and 2026 capital budget, and legal matters regarding ownership of the Zone 1 Private Horseshoe Resort (Freed Developments) Drinking Water System and associated municipal integration fees to the Horseshoe Highlands Municipal Drinking Water System settled, the project is restarting.
Integration of the Zone 1 Horseshoe Valley Drinking Water initiative is a technically complex and staged project. As the project progresses, individual property owners will be contacted directly to arrange water meter package installations through an appointment booking.
PLEASE NOTE: Only those customers who are impacted by the Zone 1 Integration Project will be contacted regarding meter installation and ultimate connection to the Municipal Drinking Water System.
