The Town of Gravelbourg will undergo a significant infrastructure improvement project beginning with the decommissioning and dismantling of the 1928 water tower in August 2024. The project scope includes the replacement of water mains on 1st Avenue and a portion of Bettez St, as well as sewer pipe lining and repair.
Residents and visitors can expect intermittent disruption to services and road access. We encourage those affected to sign up for Citizen Alert and monitor this page for updates. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we embark on this major update to our water and sewer infrastructure that will improve and secure services for generations.
