2016 Key Projects:
Idlewild Dam Reconstruction Project: Complete reconstruction of the earthen dam and concrete spillway providing a significant capacity and safety upgrade that will allow the dam and reservoir to operate safely for decades to come. This project was made possible by the City receiving grant funding from the Federal Gas Tax Fund and will also benefit from a generous donation from the RDEK that will go towards major park and recreation improvements in 2017. 2016 Capital Works Program: Full reconstruction, including deep utility and service replacements, for 11th Avenue South and 4th & 6th Street South between 11th and 14th Avenue. These projects included high priority roads, water and sewer infrastructure, and also received storm water upgrades to ensure a long lasting upgrade that was completed using cost effective practices and local contractor resources. The program also included many repaving projects throughout town as well as local drainage improvements that alleviated localized storm water flooding and safety concerns.
