City to resume sewer work in Riverside

May 4, 2021 | 11:50 AM

MEDICINE HAT, AB – Work will resume Monday on the city’s project to install a new sanitary sewer trunkline in the Riverside neighbourhood.

The city says the project will divert sewage flow from the northwest quadrant of the city (Box Springs, Brier Park, Redcliff) to the newly renovated lift station on the north bank of the river near Police Point Park. At the same time the city will do needed work on the natural gas distribution system, taking advantage of synergies between the two projects.

The work will begin on May 10.

The multi-year plan began with work in the Brier Park area on Saamis Drive NW in 2019 and continued through 2020 in the Parkview area near Altawana Drive NE.

The city says work in the Riverside area will generally occur on Second Street NE moving from east (Third Avenue NE) to west (First Avenue NE) in stages.
