The Harvest Ridge stormwater facility requires upgrades to repair the elevation of sediment settlement, algae build up, and drainage limitations. The repairs will be phased to accommodate the necessary weather restrictions required for completing upgrades.

During construction residents may experience detours along the trail near the stormwater facility, notice construction equipment in the area, and experience additional noise.

Once upgrades are complete, the facility will be deeper to improve capacity and should produce less odours.

Project timeline:
Facility upgrades will begin in May 7, 2024 and are scheduled to be completed by the end of August (weather permitting).

The City of Spruce Grove receives its potable (drinkable) water from the Capital Region Parkland Water Services Commission through a watermain that comes from Edmonton and extends to Stony Plain. In 2024 the Commission is upgrading the watermain to ensure the ability to provide adequate water supply to the growing population in the Parkland area.

In tandem with the Commission project, the City will be undertaking work to construct a new water fill building with connections to two existing reservoirs and connecting to the newly upgraded Commission watermain.

The water fill building will be constructed on a section of the parking lot at Henry Singer Park and will impact groups that use the baseball diamonds and pickleball courts located at the park. A portion of the parking lot will be blocked off for construction laydown and work, and there will be construction activity present that will create noise and potentially produce dust. Users are encouraged to carpool when possible.

Once complete, this work will ensure the ability to provide adequate water supply to the growing population in the area.

Project timeline:
Construction is expected to start summer of 2024 and will be ongoing through the fall.

Infrastructure improvements west of the McLeod Avenue and Jennifer Heil Way intersection are needed to accommodate future planning in the area south of Legacy Park. To complete these improvements, a temporary road will be built to accommodate a short-term road closure, which is anticipated to start July 22.

The planned construction work will then improve existing neighbourhood access in Legacy Park and connect municipal services to the proposed residential land south. Upgrades include improvements to the storm sewer system, underground infrastructure, and local road. 

These neighbourhood access improvements will be completed along the section of road west of Jennifer Heil Way on McLeod Avenue in three phases.

• Stage one includes the building of a temporary road south of McLeod Avenue. Work started on June 18 and is anticipated to be completed by July 21.
• Stage two includes the closure of the McLeod Avenue roadway to upgrade underground infrastructure and complete road upgrades. Traffic is anticipated to be redirected to the temporary road starting July 22 until late August. Vehicles will need to exit south on Jennifer Heil Way and enter the neighbourhood by travelling south past the permanent McLeod Avenue entrance. No left turns will be available during this stage.
• Stage three includes the reopening of McLeod Avenue in late August and the completion of the remaining infrastructure upgrades.

Please watch for signs in the area and follow directions.
