Shady Acres Lane just off Loewen Boulevard Council for the Rural Municipality of La Broquerie has awarded a contract for drainage work along Shady Acres Lane to Friesen Hauling and Excavating.

Reeve Lewis Weiss says earlier this year, the municipality worked to correct drainage along Loewen Boulevard and now that work has been completed, they can turn their attention to the adjacent Shady Acres development. He says drainage has been an ongoing problem in the area.

"I think there was maybe a two-stage development done there many years ago and maybe the second phase wasn’t actually intended so the drain was never thought through and now it is causing a lot of trouble in the area. This should alleviate a lot of the water issues for both of the streets."

Weiss says the total cost of the project is $21,866 and will come out of the 2019 budget.
