The Sylvan Lake Regional Wastewater Commission is currently constructing a Lift station and transmission line to connect Blissful Beach to their existing system.  These activities will be carried out for the most part in the roadside ditch or on Municipal reserves and should have very little impact on area residents. 

We do ask people to obey traffic signs and slow down for construction zones during this construction which will continue from now until Mid-November.

Lacombe County construction crews will be working on Twp Road 39-5 from Range Road 3-5 west 1 mile, then north 0.6 miles on Range Road 4-0. The project is expected to run from August 5 to September 10, 2021 (weather permitting). 

Please expect minor delays in this area and drive with caution around construction crews.
