While mild temperatures are welcomed by many people they also create a host of other challenges on roadways and sidewalks this past week.

A build-up of ice has resulted in hundreds of plugged sewer mains and pooling water on top of roads and sidewalks making it difficult, and in some cases hazardous for pedestrians and motorists alike.

Melting snow has made the streets slushy in most parts of Vegreville with sizeable pools of water in business and residential areas.

The Vegreville News Advertiser reached out to the Town of Vegreville for comment but did not receive a response prior to deadline.
