Domestic water was originally obtained from Wascana Lake and later the Boggy Creek reservoir north of the city and supplemented by wells, however by the 1940s this was proving inadequate to meet the city's water supply needs. Today, drinking water is supplied from Buffalo Pound Lake in the [[Qu'Appelle River|Qu'Appelle Valley]], an artificial reservoir on the [[Qu'Appelle River]], since 1967 with water diverted into it from [[Lake Diefenbaker]] behind the [[Gardiner Dam]] on the [[South Saskatchewan River]].<ref>[http://www.ilec.or.jp/database/nam/nam-57.html World Lakes Database: Buffalo Pound Lake.] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081227180400/http://www.ilec.or.jp/database/nam/nam-57.html |date=27 December 2008 }}. Retrieved 8 December 2007.</ref> Electricity is provided by [[SaskPower]], a provincial [[Crown corporation]] which maintains a province-wide grid with power generated from coal-fired base load, natural gas-fired, hydroelectric and wind power facilities.

Medical services are provided through three city hospitals, Regina General, Pasqua (formerly Grey Nuns), and Wascana Rehabilitation Centre and by private medical practitioners, who, like hospitals, remit their bills to the public universal medical insurer, the Saskatchewan Medicare system.<ref>See generally [http://esask.uregina.ca/entry/medicare.html John A.
