Efforts by the City of North Battleford are causing the postponement of UPAR projects in the city.
A project to replace pipes directly connected to the water tower involving 105th Street from 11th Avenue to 12th Avenue is one example.
According to the City, “with the current shortage of potable water in the City, it has been determined that these pipes are too important to be taken out of service for rehabilitation work at this time.”
The postponement of the 105th Street project has accelerated a 96th Street with the underground work to begin Aug. 15, stepped up from Sept. 12.
Also moved up the queue is underground work on 97th Street, with the project originally slated to begin Oct. 3 to begin Sept. 12.
The City reminds motorists to use caution when travelling through work zones and to respect the safety of workers.
“The patience and understanding of the public and business owners in affected areas is appreciated during these important rehabilitation projects,” a City release states.
The Underground Pipeline and Asphalt Replacement program was introduced in 2015 to address the issue for replacement of underground infrastructure and street repaving.
