The purpose of the National Assessment is to define the current deficiencies and the operational needs of water and wastewater systems, identify the long-term water and wastewater needs of each community and recommend sustainable, long-term infrastructure development strategies. [...] The reports include an assessment of existing communal and individual systems, identification of required upgrades to meet departmental, federal and provincial protocols and guidelines, and an assessment of existing servicing of the community along with projections of population and water and wastewater flows for future servicing for the 10 year period. [...] The following is a summary of the level of service being provided to the homes within the Manitoba region: 51% of the homes (7,930) are piped 31% of the homes (4,777) are on truck delivery 13% of the homes (2,078) are serviced by individual wells 5% of the homes (876) have no water service. [...] In general, the treatment system classification reflects the complexity of the treatment process and the distribution classification reflects the population of the community being serviced.
