$2 million water pumphouse for West Park moving ahead

Sep 18, 2017 | 2:28 PM

The Town of Battleford is moving ahead with a project to build a new multi-million dollar water pumphouse and reservoir for the Battleford’s West Park subdivision.

“This is going to increase their water access,” said Mayor Ames Leslie. “The pumphouse and reservoir will bring them better pressure and hopefully more sustainable water.”

Council approved the recommendation to hire local firm L.V. Schell Construction Management Services Ltd., based in North Battleford, which came in with the lowest bid at $1,837,188.

The town received 11 bids from companies across Saskatchewan and two from Alberta firms. 

The town is planning for the work to start in September.

“It’s been something that’s been talked about within the town parametres since 1985,” said Leslie. “It’s something that needed to be done…. We are quite proud of administration and this council to finally get around to finding the money to get this upgrade done up in West Park.”
