Upcoming Drainage Remediation in Grand Coulee

Starting on the East side moving West

August 24, 2023

Greetings, Residents of Grand Coulee,

We hope this message finds you well. We wish to inform you about an upcoming project that will enhance our town’s infrastructure. Commencing from the week of August 30th, you will observe the mobilization of equipment on the east side of our town. The purpose? To undertake significant improvements to our drainage ditches – a vital component of our community’s functionality and safety.

As guardians of our town’s upkeep, we understand that the forthcoming modifications to the town easements at the front of your properties may raise questions. The town easements, extending along the frontage of every property, are designated for effective drainage and potential road maintenance. These planned enhancements might involve adjustments to the landscape and potential replacements or adjustments of culverts in your driveways.

In an effort to keep you well-informed, we are committed to providing updates through multiple platforms. Look out for notifications on our official Facebook page, informative posters strategically placed throughout the town, on our dedicated website, and within the town office’s bulletin board. Acknowledging the fluid nature of this project, we recognize the importance of ensuring that you are apprised of the specific timeline when your street will undergo construction.

During this period, we have designated Memorial & Meadow and the vicinity of Saskatchewan Drive for parking purposes. We understand that construction activities may necessitate the temporary relocation of vehicles. This allocation is intended to facilitate both your convenience and the smooth progress of construction operations. We will provide maps shortly for parking locations.

Should you have any inquiries or require clarifications, please feel free to contact our office at 306-352-8694. We are here to provide assistance and address any concerns you may have.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your patience and cooperation as we strive to enhance the drainage infrastructure of our beloved Grand Coulee. We share in your anticipation of witnessing the positive outcomes of these efforts – an improved and more secure town environment.

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind you of discussions held during our meeting on July 25th. As we embark on this endeavor, we are also initiating the preparatory stages for road surface remediation in 2024. While this involves a formal tender process, we commit to keeping you informed of the developments as they unfold.

Thank you for your continued support. Together, let us pave the way for a more resilient and prosperous Grand Coulee.

Sincerely,
Council, Administration and Public Works
