Water
Oyen purchases water from the Henry Kroker Regional Water Commission. The water originates from the Red Deer River, is treated at the treatment plant at Sheerness, and then transported by pipeline to its member communities.
Sewer
The Town sewer is currently serviced by 2 anaerobic cells, 1 facultative cell, and 1 storage cell. The lagoons were completed in 1989 and were designed for a life expectancy of fifty (50) years. The ponds were designed to accommodate population growth for several decades.
Recycling
Currently Oyen has drop off sites for recycling of paper, glass, glossy magazines, and tin behind the Antelope Inn on 1st Avenue East. Cardboard can be recycled at the waste transfer station. Grass clippings and leaves can be placed in the compost site located by the fishing pond on 4A Avenue West. Glass & tin beverage containers may be returned to Oyen Container Depot on Railway Avenue East for appropriate refund.
