COVID-19 Safety Measures

To ensure the safety of visitors as well as our staff, the RMWB has implemented the following operational plan for reopening the Planning and Development Office which has been approved by Alberta Health Services:

• Floor taping to maintain 2 meters of distance between visitors
• Mandatory and continuous mask wearing for visitors – masks will be provided for those who do not have one.
• PPE for all staff including gloves, masks, and sanitizer
• Protective barriers to separate staff from the public
• Increased and regular cleaning and disinfecting of high contact areas
• Hired security to control social distancing
• If you have a fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat or shortness of breath, do not visit our office. Instead, please use our online services or contact our office for support by phone.

Electrical Re-Energization

Anyone requiring electrical re-energization, must request an RMWB inspection by calling Pulse at 780-743-7000 or filling out an online form at rmwb.ca/ElectricalInspection.

If approved, the home/business can contact ATCO Electric at 1-800-668-5506 for electric hookup. If you do not pass the inspection you must hire a licensed contractor and they will obtain the Safety Codes permits to repair your electrical system.
