Spring maintenance underway in Meadow Lake
The spring melt is leading to upgrades of Meadow Lake’s infrastructure.
City crews have been busy clearing last bits of snow on the road, steaming and thawing culvert and storm drains, and working on filling some problem surface failures on the streets.
City manager Diana Burton said the department of public works received calls for frozen water and sewer lines this year.
“As the ground thaws the frost gets pushed down a bit,” she said. “Residents are asked to run water through their taps to prevent the lines from freezing, and we also have a page on our website with tips for preventing freezing.”
