Early public works development began during the Great Depression years and War years when such civic works were restricted, or done cheaply, due to inadequate funding. Up until the late 1970s, the city had old cast iron water lines, old concrete sewer lines, and gravel streets.
In 1978, we started to replace the water and sewer lines. By 1981, most of those old lines had been replaced with modern plastic lines. Then, in 1982 and 1983, we paved most of the city's streets.
Our department is staffed with eleven full-time workers and four seasonal workers. We maintain 50 kilometres each of water lines, sewer lines and streets. We also maintain the sidewalks, gravel roads and traffic signs, and are responsible for snow removal during the winter.
