Shepard residents still waiting on water services 13 years after joining Calgary

A community in Calgary’s southeast is still waiting on water and sewer services more than a decade after joining the City of Calgary. There are roughly 80 homes in Shepard that currently rely on wells for drinking water and septic tanks for sewage management. Residents are frustrated, saying they’re paying Calgary taxes but aren’t getting city services. "It’s like they don’t even care about us and they don’t even care enough to communicate," said Kay Balisky.
