Capital Projects & Upgrades

This year, the City is moving forward with several major infrastructure projects designed to improve our roads, replace aging water and sewer lines, and restore critical capacity at the sewage lagoon.

While this work will bring long-term benefits, some temporary disruptions—including road closures, construction noise, and periodic odors—are expected. We appreciate your patience as we build a stronger, more resilient community.

Note: Detailed project pages with interactive timelines and feedback tools will be coming soon to yourmeadowlake.ca. In the meantime, please check below for current project summaries.

Major Project Update: Sewage Lagoon Dredging

Sewage Lagoon Maintenance

Update: July 8, 2026

July 8 marks the official first step in our planned lagoon maintenance project for this season.

• Today (July 8): SaskWater is attempting to run the aeration system in the Lagoon to clear away any built-up sludge and debris before the equipment is removed.
• Tomorrow (July 9): Our contractor, Nexom, will begin removing the aeration system to perform essential maintenance on the equipment. This removal process is expected to take 2–3 days.

As the sludge and debris are disturbed during this process, residents should expect a temporary increase in odor until the material resettles. We appreciate your patience while this necessary work is completed.

The next step in this project will be the actual desludging process. We will continue to share up-to-date timelines and information on Voyent Alert, Facebook and on our website as soon as information becomes available.

Neighborhood Road & Utility Projects

Road Rehabilitation & Utility Patching

• Where: 600-block of 2nd St. W. (full reconstruction) and 8 utility patch locations citywide in residential areas.
• When: June – October 30, 2026
• What to Expect: Full-depth road reconstruction on 2nd St. W. and utility patching in residential areas. Residents can expect a closure of the 600-block of 2nd St. W., short-term lane restrictions at patch sites, and typical construction dust and noise.

East Side Infrastructure (ESI) Water & Sewer Replacement

• Where: 7th St. E. (between 4th & 5th Ave. E.) and 4th Ave. E. (between 6th & 7th St. E.).
• When: Late June – October 2026
• What to Expect: Replacement of approximately 275 meters of water main and 270 meters of sanitary sewer main, along with new service connections. Residents should prepare for road closures, detours, temporary water shutoffs, heavy construction traffic, and the eventual restoration of all disturbed surfaces.

Seasonal Maintenance

Dust Control on Gravel Roads

To improve air quality and reduce road wear, Public Works is running our annual dust control program.

• Schedule: The first application is expected in late May/early June (weather permitting), with a second application typically done later in August to maintain dust control throughout the season.
• Process: Before the chemical suppressant is applied, roads are graded and compacted to ensure it binds properly to the surface.
