On Wednesday, the new generator was delivered and final installation will occur within the next few weeks. This grant funded acquisition will ensure that regardless of weather events like strong winds, summer thunderstorms, and heavy winter snow and ice storms – our sewage pumping station will continue to work.
The residents who live close by should see (or hear) a significant reduction in the number of alarms.
Plans are underway to install a lift, which will move people to the upstairs of the WTC Communications Centre, opening up exciting new programming opportunities. The Village is interested in hearing your ideas about what activities you would like to see offered – for all ages.
The lift is expected to be installed by the end of December. Council will already be into budget discussions by that time so the Village is reaching out now to get your input. If you have some suggestions, please send them to our Recreation Manager Chris Chisamore – cchisamore@villageofwestport.ca.
This lift is similar to the one that will be installed at the WTC Communications Centre.
For the second year in a row, the Village has received a $100K grant to repair and replace sidewalks. The north side of Spring St from Concession to Main rose to the top of the priority list in 2022 based on a sidewalk condition assessment that was completed a couple of years ago.
The work continues and will be finished in time for the kids “trick or treating”.
Morning Westport. Garbage will be picked up today – waste is scheduled to be picked up by noon and recycling this afternoon.
Have a great day.
Town Hall received many calls this week inquiring about the low levels of Sand Lake and Mill Pond. Staff work their way through the different government offices and finally found the person with the answers – the Integrated Resource Management Technical Specialist from Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. MNRF were on site Thursday and inspected the pond and today provide us with the below statement. We expect that the levels will come up soon and your concerns will be addressed.
“With recruitment of staff and transition of roles, we have been in the process of refining our approaches and communications around dam operations. As such, the valve at the hatchery wasn’t closed as much as it should have been during reStcent operations. We have since taken steps to minimize further impacts, and we will continue to monitor the status of levels on an ongoing basis until more rain is received.“
Robin, The Mayor
