The Harvest Ridge stormwater facility requires upgrades to repair the elevation of sediment settlement, algae build up, and drainage limitations. The repairs will be phased to accommodate the necessary weather restrictions required for completing upgrades.

During construction residents may experience detours along the trail near the stormwater facility, notice construction equipment in the area, and experience additional noise.

Once upgrades are complete, the facility will be deeper to improve capacity and should produce less odours.

Project timeline:
Facility upgrades will begin in May 7, 2024 and are scheduled to be completed by the end of August (weather permitting).

The City of Spruce Grove receives its potable (drinkable) water from the Capital Region Parkland Water Services Commission through a watermain that comes from Edmonton and extends to Stony Plain. In 2024 the Commission is upgrading the watermain to ensure the ability to provide adequate water supply to the growing population in the Parkland area.

In tandem with the Commission project, the City will be undertaking work to construct a new water fill building with connections to two existing reservoirs and connecting to the newly upgraded Commission watermain.

The water fill building will be constructed on a section of the parking lot at Henry Singer Park and will impact groups that use the baseball diamonds and pickleball courts located at the park. A portion of the parking lot will be blocked off for construction laydown and work, and there will be construction activity present that will create noise and potentially produce dust. Users are encouraged to carpool when possible.

Once complete, this work will ensure the ability to provide adequate water supply to the growing population in the area.

Construction is expected to start summer of 2024 and will be ongoing through winter of 2025.
