The Municipality will be carrying out geotechnical investigation work from August 31 to September 4 as part of planning for the Northern Watermain Crossing Project.

The work involves a buggy-mounted drill rig that will be used to collect soil information through borehole testing at several locations. Work will begin on Carss Street and move to the north side of the Mississippi River later in the week. Please refer to the attached map for testing locations.

Residents may notice drilling equipment and workers in the area during this time. Please follow all posted signs and stay clear of active work areas for your safety.

Thank you for your cooperation.
