Like most town's around the Foothills, water was a big issue for the Town of Nanton in 2015.

With work continuing on a new waste water treatment plant, Mayor Rick Everett, says they also took the time to make some improvements to their existing fresh water infrastructure.

"We had the opportunity in our water treatment plant to put some new pumps in there, a back up pumping system. We've put in a brand new generator, so if the power fails we have a brand new generator to back up our water system. And that was really good as well, so we've got a good system going there.

Everett says he was also pleased to see more development happening in Westview which will add to the Town's population base.

And one of the things he's most excited about are the ongoing negotiations to bring a Tim Horton's franchise to town.
