Phase 1 of Sewer Line Rehabiliation The first step will be repairing the main sewer line along the highway and some other areas. The costs is expected to be $375,000. Work on Phase 1 will commence in the spring. Regional Municipal Sustainability Plan: Their vision is “to fulfill an advisory roll by identifying and compiling common priorities and coordinating efforts to address issues that cross municipal boundaries.” A local Municipal Committee needs to be formed. Two council members will be on the committee along at least three members from the community. Please take time to answer the questionnaire in this weeks paper and return it to the Village Office. Your comments are important. Illegal Parking Please do not park your vehicles - truck, cars, motor homes, etc. on the Village Boulevards. All street parking must be moved every 24 hours. OCTOBER 26, 2009 Hythe Public Works is pleased with the arrival of the long awaited front end loader. This should make street clearing easier this winter. Thanks you Encana for the cords of firewood you provided for the Hythe Municipal Campground. Alberta Transport is working on the culverts along the Highway 43 through Hythe. Drainage should be much improved in the Spring as a result of their efforts. Hopper Well will soon begin drilling a new well at the North end of town. This is part of the five year plan. Campground will be officially closed on November 2. It will reopen before the May long weekend. OCTOBER 13, 2009 Council received a report from the Hythe Agricultural Society - the pool needs our communities support financially. Renovation costs over the past five years have been extremely high - salt system, plumbing, pool lining and new roof. It will take at least two years for the pool to catch up financially. If you can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Donations can be made to the Hythe Agricultural Society. Also, adult lifeguards will be needed May 2010. Any help you can give will go a long way in keeping our pool open.
