The 80 foot hight water tower was installed at Glenwood on May 8, 1964, it held 66,000 gallons of water and used water pumped from the Belly River. Before then water had to be hauled up from the river. In 1983 the water tower was replaced by the substation and now comes from an artesian well on the Jim Woolf farm. Glenwood is said to have some of the best drinking water in Alberta, we certainlly have plenty of it now, but it was a lot harder to come by in the past. Before, people had to go to the river and bring their drinking water home in horse drawn wagons, if you were lucky enough to have a horse and wagon, otherwise you were carrying it up by hand in buckets.
