Residents may notice a drilling rig operating within the construction area over the coming days.
The drilling equipment is being used to install well points, which are part of the temporary dewatering system required for underground infrastructure work. The well points help lower the groundwater level, creating safer and drier conditions for the installation of water, sewer, and storm infrastructure.
The Municipality is asking residents and businesses in the Longlac Ward to voluntarily conserve water over the next two weeks while significant upgrades are completed at the Longlac Water Treatment Plant.

Temporary traffic lights are now in place within the construction zone to safely manage one-lane traffic through active work areas. As construction progresses, the traffic lights will be relocated as needed to follow the active work zone. Please pay close attention to all signage, barriers, and traffic control devices, as traffic patterns will change throughout the project. The temporary traffic lights are currently set with an approx. 3min cycle time. Drivers exiting driveways or side streets located between the traffic lights should wait for traffic moving in their desired direction, merge safely when possible, and never drive against the flow of traffic.
A reminder to all property owners and occupants to keep grass and vegetation properly maintained throughout the growing season. Under the Clean Yards By-law, grass must generally be kept at 20 cm (8 inches) or less, and vegetation must not obstruct sidewalks, roads, sightlines, or utilities. Failure to comply may result in enforcement action.
