Water services are provided by the Cartier Regional Water Cooperative. The CentrePort distribution line serves CentrePort development and the RM of Rosser.[3] Water sourced from the Assiniboine River is treated at Headingley before being sent out thru distribution channels.[3]

Four communities lie entirely or partly within the RM: Grosse Isle, Marquette, Meadows, and Rosser. Near the community of Rosser is the Dorsey Converter Station and the large static inverter plant for the Nelson River Bipole HVDC power transmission project. CentrePort Canada lies primarily in the eastern part of the RM, inside Winnipeg's Perimeter Highway. A small portion of Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport also lies within the RM of Rosser.
