Water Valley is an unincorporated community in Mountain View County, on Highway 579 west of Highway 22, the Cowboy Trail. It is about 83 km from Calgary and roughly 13 km southwest of Cremona, with Winchell Lake and the Little Red Deer River nearby. Census counts fold it into the county, so it has no population figure of its own.
The old community hall went up in 1942, and the Water Valley Community Association took on its replacement, a 5,620 square foot building made to seat 275. The calendar includes the Water Valley Celtic Festival, patterned on a festival in Feakle, County Clare, Ireland, the Water Valley Stampede Rodeo, which drew about 2,000 people over two days in 2023, its 69th year, plus Water Valley Days and the annual Turkey Supper.
Mountain View County has no community-based wastewater systems, so homes out here rely on septic, and natural gas comes from the Cochrane Lake Gas Co-op, incorporated in 1972, whose franchise area runs up through Water Valley. If your property has a shop or a detached garage, a gas unit heater is a common way to keep it workable through winter.
