The Town of Drumheller has awarded the tender to repair the water supply and pipes of the Rotary Spray Park Fountain and hopes to have the work completed by August 10.
Advantage Reline is expected to begin the work on July 31, with work expected to involve excavation, pipe lining, and plumbing, followed by the standard procedures for water quality testing and obtaining the approval of Alberta Health Services. The pipes were found to be losing large amounts of water prior to closure.
"This is a complicated project and it has taken a while to get the correct skills and equipment needed to complete repairs," said director of infrastructure Armia Mikhaiel. "We thank the public for their patience and look forward to having the fountain available for everyone to enjoy."
