PUBLIC WORKS & INFRASTRUCTURE, FIRE DEPT, WATER/SEWER, SECURITY AND RECREATION CENTRE DEPARTMENT MISSION STATEMENT:
Provide a standard level of service to the Community; develop and implement a preventative maintenance plan for the existing buildings and infrastructure. Coordinate & communicate with different ALIB departments to accomplish common goals.
DEPARTMENT STAFF:
Our Department staff are continually improving and developing skills as technology is improving and new materials and equipment are available. During Covid our staff has been working to ensure that all the community services are operational. HIGHLIGHTS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF 2020-2021: PUBLIC WORKS Our Public Works Staff prepared the Band buildings to meet the Covid requirements with safety equipment and sanitizers plus helped with distribution of supplies to the Community. 2020 was a bad year for flooding and Public Works stepped up the tasks of removing debris from drainage channels and helping with pumps and hoses for dewatering.
Our water systems supply the community and individual Band Members with water. We are continually looking for funding to provide clean drinkable water for all Band Members.
Investigate and rehabilitate failed septic systems that have caused untreated sewage breakouts and backups into homes. Emergency Services are improving relationships, techniques, equipment and operations with other local departments to provide the best possible service. Gatherings, funerals, weddings, celebrations, and sports are a big part of our community. Maintenance of the gym will provide a great place for these events to happen with room for our growing community.
