🍂 Finishing up some outdoor projects before winter? What happens to the leftover products matters to the community’s stormwater system.

If oil, paint, fertilizers, pesticides or other household products are poured into a catch basin or left somewhere they can wash into one, they can enter the stormwater system and affect water quality.

Unlike water that goes down household drains to the sanitary sewer system for treatment, stormwater travels through our stormwater management facilities and eventually into the local watershed.

Keep leftover materials out of catch basins and the stormwater system by dropping them off at the City’s Eco Centre for proper disposal. Learn more about protecting community stormwater facilities at sprucegrove.org/StormwaterSystem.

🚧 King Street construction update

Crews have been taking full advantage of the warm weather this week and have made great progress on patching sections of King Street.

🔹Work on the underground watermains continues near the McLeod Avenue intersection which has been reopened to east, west and southbound traffic.

🔹The northbound lanes between First Avenue and Church Road are closed to traffic. Lane closures throughout King Street will be in place until work is completed.

🔹Between 3 and 8 a.m. on Monday (Nov. 17), city crews will be replacing banners and installing lights on street poles along McLeod Avenue from King Street to Queen Street. If you’re travelling through the City Centre during that time, watch for temporary lane closures and traffic disruptions.

We appreciate your ongoing patience and understanding as we complete this important work before the winter weather arrives. Please slow down and pay close attention to workers and posted road signage.

Keep watching our social media for King Street construction updates.
