Update Drainage

To all the valued residents of the Grand Coulee community,

We wanted to provide you with an update regarding the ongoing drainage construction project that’s underway in
• Centennial Drive,
• Maple Avenue,
• Park St,
• English Bay, and
Wilfred Street. I just returned from a walk through these streets with our contracted professionals, and we’d like to share some insights on the project’s progress.
Upon inspection, it has been determined that about 50% of the ditches will require elevation adjustments, and a few culverts will need to be modified for optimal drainage. We are working closely with our contractors to ensure that these changes are carried out effectively and efficiently.
For those of you whose driveways have culverts that need adjusting, we will be reaching out to you directly if we haven’t already spoken. Our aim is to minimize any inconvenience and address any concerns you might have during this process.
As part of the work being done to improve drainage, we will be removing rocks from the ditches. This involves excavation to enhance water flow, followed by the repositioning of rocks if it proves beneficial for drainage. We understand the importance of maintaining effective drainage systems to prevent any potential issues in the future.
In the spirit of collaborative community efforts, we kindly request that all residents contribute to the upkeep of their culverts. To ensure smooth water flow, we ask that you refrain from placing rocks in front of the culverts. This small but significant step will go a long way in maintaining the overall effectiveness of our drainage system.
We’re here to address any questions or concerns you might have. Feel free to reach out to our office at 306-352-8694. We truly appreciate your cooperation as we work together to enhance our community’s drainage infrastructure.
Watch for updates later next week for the rest of town. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Dear Residents of Grand Coulee
Greetings! As we work together to address our drainage needs, we want to ensure that our garbage and recycling services continue seamlessly. In collaboration with Loraas, our waste management partner, we have a plan in place to maintain these essential services during the upcoming weeks of work.
To facilitate this process, we kindly request your cooperation. If your side of the road is undergoing drainage work, we ask that you take the following steps:
 
Label Your Cans: Please clearly write your name on your garbage and recycling cans. This will help us ensure that the right cans are returned to the correct addresses.
Placement Across the Street: Place your labeled garbage and recycling cans on the opposite side of the street from where the construction work is taking place. This will allow for unobstructed access for the waste collection team.
 
By labeling your cans with your name, we can ensure that the serial numbers correspond to the proper addresses, preventing any confusion during the waste collection process. Your cooperation will play a significant role in maintaining the smooth flow of services as we work together to enhance our drainage system.
 
We truly appreciate your understanding and assistance during this time. The commitment of our community to working in harmony with Loraas and the town is commendable. Your contributions will undoubtedly make a positive difference as we navigate through these weeks of cooperation.
Thank you for your ongoing support, and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or require further information. Together, we can make this process efficient and successful.
