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.

At the 2021 Blue Skies Awards, presented by the Parklands Airshed Management Zone (PAMZ), Lacombe County was recognized with an award for Environmental Stewardship. This award recognizes the County's long-time commitment to environmental stewardship, including the recent completion of the solar panel project.

“We are honoured to be recognized with a 2021 Blue Skies Award for our solar project, as well as many other environmental initiatives and activities that we have completed over the years, “said Lacombe County Reeve Paula Law. “We recognize the impact that organizations like PAMZ have on the health and environment in our region.”
