The MD owns and operates 4 gravel pits within its boundaries. In 2018, Council approved an increased annual re-gravel program to protect approximately 240 kilometres of local roads. The local roads re-gravelling strategy is on a three-year rotation.

The MD is currently assessing infrastructure after the June flooding event. An application for Disaster Recovery Program (DRP) Funding has been initiated on behalf of the entire municipality. We have been in consultation with the Province in completing this application.

Please be advised that Council has recently passed two bylaws (2018-03 & 2018-02) that will result in a 2% increase for all water and sewer accounts within the MD.
