The City's water infrastructure upgrades within the Wiltse neighbourhood is entering its next construction phase, with temporary road closures in place from July 20-27.

Construction activity will shift to Dartmouth Drive to install a new water main and replace aging infrastructure. This will require a series of temporary road closures and detours. Access to homes will be maintained throughout the project, and traffic control personnel will be on-site to help guide motorists and pedestrians safely through the area.
