The Public Works Department consists of a staff of three under the policy direction of the Town Manager. The day to day operations are supervised by Ralph Wadman. The department provides a wide variety of high quality services to town residents on behalf of the Town Council. They are responsible for the daily upkeep and cleanliness of the Town including grass mowing, sidewalk ploughing, swimming pool upkeep, maintenance of Town owned buildings and maintenance of Town roads and surface infrastructure such as signs and culverts.

The Public Works department is responsible for the complete maintenance of the Town’s sewage collection and treatment network. The collection system consists of approximately 10 km of subsurface piping as well as 1 lift station requiring daily monitoring and maintenance. The treatment system consists of a headworks building which houses mechanical equipment and two lagoons providing secondary sewage treatment. The lagoons saw significant upgrades in 2002 increasing both the level of treatment as well as the treatment capacity within the lagoons.

The Town’s water treatment and distribution system is currently managed by a certified private contractor. The water system consists of four underground wells, a headworks/chlorination building and approximately 9 km of subsurface piping. The Town has recently implemented a wellfield protection program, including a 300 foot development buffer zone, to ensure that present and future generations of the community continue to receive safe drinking water.
