Area Overview
The Heart of Alberta. So proclaims the sign at the entryway to Stettler. And who’s to argue? For as long as the lifeblood of this province remains oil and agriculture, it will pump through nowhere as it does through Stettler.
With a trading area extending from Camrose to Drumheller, and from Alix to Saskatchewan, Stettler is the heart, mind and soul of east central Alberta. Selling, servicing, manufacturing – it’s all there, and in abundance. Not to mention learning, playing and feeding the spirit.
The Town of Stettler was named after Carl Stettler, a native of Switzerland, who came to Alberta in 1903. With a number of his fellow countrymen, he established a Swiss community, Blumenau, not far from what is now Stettler. With the arrival of the railroad, Stettler was established and Blumenau relocated there. Status as a town was granted in 1906.
In the early days, Stettler was a farm service and supply centre. To this day the community derives a good part of its economic strength from the agricultural industry.
Forty years ago there was a gold rush in Stettler County. Although the gold that men searched for ran black and thick and stank of sulphur, it produced a gush of economic activity still seen here today. The Fenn/Big Valley field was capable of producing 974 barrels of oil a day with virtually no water. Later, this field would produce 35,000 barrels a day for Gulf and account for 26% of the company's total production of light oil. This would soon draw other companies like Esso and Shell.
When the oil started flowing in Stettler, oil batteries and pipelines became a familiar fixture on the Stettler landscape. With the recent oil & gas expansions in the area, these facilities have been rapidly expanding.

Economic Base
Two primary industries dominate in the Stettler region -- agriculture [ranching and grain farming] and oil & gas. Agriculture is the mainstay, which employs most of the rural population and supports a healthy agricultural service sector within the Town of Stettler.
Agriculture is the greatest contributor to Stettler's economic stability and offers many opportunities. Stettler farmers produce such diverse items as dairy products, straw, hay, barely, canola, oats, honey, poultry, cattle, hogs and rye. As the town is in the heart of a very productive agricultural industry, there is not only great potential to provide numerous services to area farmers, but also to become involved in food-processing.
The oil & gas industry supports a large segment of the population from the Town and County. It also supports a large oil well servicing sector within the Town of Stettler. Morrison, Enerflex, Tornado, as well as many other oilfield players are in Stettler. In addition, some 50 plus local firms provide services to the oil and gas fields, pipelines, gas processing plants, and field facilities.
Tourism has become a big part of Stettler's economy with the advent of Alberta Prairie Steam Tours. Alberta Prairie offers an exciting one-day adventure on board a real steam or diesel powered train. There are about four trips a week in the summer with different entertainment and excursion packages offered such as a teddy bear, special, murder mystery or Oktoberfest. In the winter there are a limited number of fine dining excursions. Now in its 13th year of operation Alberta Prairie will carry over 21,000 passengers a season.
In addition, Stettler attracts sportsmen from all over with the abundance of hunting and fishing in the surrounding area. Excellent camping facilities are located throughout the region.
Also within the Town of Stettler, a significant level of employment is concentrated in government services and trade industries.
Economic Facts
Traditional business ties developed by the agricultural and oil & gas industries, coupled with Stettler's location, have facilitated the introduction of new service industries into the area. Stettler is by no means limited to these industries alone, due in part by the Town's aggressive business community. Recent gains have been made in manufacturing with the establishment of Enerflex and Tornado Oilfield Services.
There are 446 registered businesses in the Town and County of Stettler, excluding those located in Villages and Hamlets.

Water Supply
The Town’s raw water supply is pumped from the Red Deer River to the Water Treatment Plant that is approximately 18 kilometers from Town. The Water Treatment Plant was built in 1984 at a cost of over $10 million. It is able to produce 5,500 cubic meters (over 1.2 million gallons) per day of drinking water that meets or exceeds all of the health and quality standards that are currently in place.
In 2001, Associated Engineering was commissioned by the Town to prepare a five- year Water Treatment Plant Capital Improvements Plan to increase the water treatment processing capacity. The cost for this five-year plan is in excess of $1.5 million and when completed will ensure that necessary capacity and quality of drinking water will be available for many years.
As of May 1, 2005 the water utility charge is a flat rate of $11.00 per month plus an amount based on the consumption of water in a building.
