The RM of Rockwood's water is supplied by three wells in operation since 1990.[8]
When the RM applied to the Public Utilities Board for water rate increases in the late 2010s, they reported a higher amount of "unaccounted for" water usage of 17% (normal is 10%). Some of this unused water came from water line cleaning, firefighting, and water main breakage. In 2017, 545 new water meters were installed to help reduce the unaccounted for water.
The Stony Mountain Institution water is provided by the separate Cartier Regional Water Co-op.
