The Rural Municipality of Ritchot (French: Municipalité rurale de Ritchot) is a rural municipality in the Winnipeg Capital Region, bordering the south side of Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada. The separately-administered town of Niverville lies adjacent to its southeast, between it and the Rural Municipality of Hanover.

Water[]

Due to population growth within the R.M., an application to expand and improve the water distribution system was made in 2017. The C$5 million project would involve twinning of the distribution pipe between Ste. Agathe and St. Adolphe, twinning of the distribution pipe between Ste. Agathe and Grande Pointe, expansion of the Water Treatment Plant tank to store 1 additional megalitre, and a wider pipe to allow for a 50-litre per second flow from the well.[4]
