Water Main Replacement Scheduled to Begin Monday, May 28th
Town of Kindersley water main replacement is scheduled to begin today with the installation of temporary water service lines to properties affected along 2nd Street West and King Drive.
Excavation work beginning on Monday, June 4th will start at the intersections of 8th Street West and Kind Drive, moving towards 2nd Street East. During this time residents will not have access to driveways or sidewalks and will have to use the back alley. Recycle and garbage collection will also be done in the back alleys until the project is complete later this summer.
Water main replacement is expected to take five or six days to complete with sidewalk, curb and gutter work to begin soon after.
The Town of Kindersley will notify residents affected by the repairs and replacements and advises them to be aware of the following information:
Water Main Replacement
- You will be notified with a red door hanger immediately before work begins and will be connected to a temporary water supply for the duration of the replacement work. If required, property owners will be contacted by the Town of Kindersley to schedule an appointment to have their sewer line inspected. This will ensure there are no blockages that may cause issues after water main replacement is complete.
- Please make sure taps are accessible and functioning so that temporary water service can be connected.
- Once temporary water service is connected:
Flush your water taps thoroughly as the temporary line will be heavily chlorinated. The temporary water line is not connected to your water meter so you will not be charged for your water use at this time. - Once permanent water service lines are reconnected:
Please follow the Precautionary Drinking Water Advisory instructions outlined on the red door hanger you received. - A green door hanger will be issued once water quality tests have been received confirming that boiling water is no longer necessary.
Sidewalk, Curb and Gutter, Asphalt Paving
- Please remove your vehicles from the street and your driveway in order for sidewalk replacement to proceed. Sidewalks will be inaccessible during reconstruction. Vehicles left obstructing Town contractors could be subject to towing. Allow seven (7) days for sidewalks to cure before driving on the curb. Fresh sidewalks can be walked on after 24 hours.
- Mark any underground sprinklers on your boulevard or within two (2) metres from the sidewalk.
- Move garbage, recycle, and compost carts to the back alley until infrastructure work is complete. There will be periods during street reconstruction when access to driveways will be limited. Back lanes can be used as access during construction.
