💧 Council Keeps Affordability a Key Priority in 2026 Utility Rates 💧

At its January 12, 2026 meeting, Lacombe City Council approved the 2026 utility rates for water, wastewater, and solid waste as part of its ongoing focus on affordability through the 2026 Operating Budget.

For most residents, the impact is minimal. We estimate the typical single-family home will see no change to their monthly utility bill compared to 2025. Other customer types — including condos, apartments, and businesses — may see small increases or decreases depending on property type and usage.

These decisions reflect Council’s ongoing commitment to balancing affordable rates with reliable services that our community depends on every day.

There are three storm water ponds in the area that may be used at your own risk for winter recreation, skating, and outdoor shinny hockey. Only Cranna Lake, Royal Oak, and Iron Wolf storm water ponds are designated for recreational use. There's also an outdoor rink, behind Arena 2, at the Gary Moe Auto Group Sportsplex.

The City reminds you that ice conditions on storm water ponds can change quickly and without warning. After the deep freeze two weeks ago, surfaces are in decent winter conditions. Please though, for your safety and the safety of kids and pets, watch for signs indicating unstable areas or maintenance warnings on outdoor City recreation surfaces.
