I can't speak to the drainage side of things, but EPCOR does provide water to most of the surrounding areas.

The Alberta Capital Region WWTP is located out in strathcona. It provides sewage treatment for St. Albert, Sherwood Park, and a bunch of the smaller municipalities.

But with Epcor running it, (not the city) there is no pull. Epcor wouldn't have any interest in threatening to cut water off to these communities. They just want to make $.

EPCOR is still city owned...however, they more than likely would not "pull" services.

The deregualtion of electricity as well as other factors make the power game moot.

The CofE does sanitation, that one may have some pull.

There is an aresnal planned should Radke deal die..but I doubt that will happen. Some sabre ratling during the election, but really the deal is done. If they push this too hard, they know what's next...
