Brian O'Connell updated council on major utility work: pump stations, the Wallace Avenue water/sewer replacement, wastewater clarifiers, and electric circuit and substation projects across the city.
Board of Public Utilities - Sep 28, 2026
A long list of projects is moving: the low service pump station is nearly done, the membrane expansion design is at 90%, water tower work is heading to bid, and the Manitoba Drive stormwater pump station is now running. These investments keep water and sewer service reliable as the city grows.
Board of Public Utilities - Apr 27, 2026
Deferred capital projects are catching up with the utility: substation transformer replacements, distribution upgrades, and an electric division building. The plan builds spending up from the old $3-3.5 million level to $7 million a year, partly funded with $15 million in borrowings (2027-2029) and cash reserves.
Planning Commission - Mar 4, 2026
The approved list covers new water lines, sewer relining and street paving across the city. Paving on Carr, Ada, Georgia and South Prospect got pushed back because Columbia Gas will be digging those streets up first.
City Council (Regular) - Jan 20, 2026
Mick Murray laid out sidewalk infill, paving, roundabout studies, tree canopy work and facility projects, including a new 50-50 sidewalk replacement program starting this year.
