The Town of Arborg's set to have some remaining water main renewal projects completed with some extra money council's able to access. Mayor Randy Sigurdson explains.

Randy Sigurdson"It's just to complete just a couple of extra lines. It's not a big amount of money in the big picture. The grant was almost $2 million there. There's a small amount left, and we're going to do a couple of small projects just to finish off the allowable amount from last year's grant."

He notes how that will affect their budget this year.

"Of course, we're responsible for one third. But we had budgeted for all of this last year. So, it should be fine. Everything should be taken care of in advance. It's still in the hands of the engineer and we have to contact water services board to oversee everything for us. We're hoping it won't take too long to get started, but it's not always as fast as we would hope. The construction company is ready to go on this once everything is in place."
