We’re rebuilding the community playground, and you can follow along with the progress in real-time. Check out our live feed/timelapse to watch the transformation as it happens — from the first shovel to the finishing touches.
This project is about more than equipment and mulch — it’s about creating a safe, fun, and welcoming space for families for years to come.

In the photo, the concrete pipe on the right once served eight apartments. It has now been replaced by the new pipe on the left, providing customers with a much more reliable and efficient flow. This is just one example of the many improvements made possible through this project.
Patched paving will be completed so that the road can reopen, with final paving scheduled during an upcoming school break to minimize disruption.
Thank you again for your understanding as we continue investing in infrastructure improvements that benefit the entire community.



A special thank you goes to our first responders, healthcare workers, and all those who continue working while others rest—you keep our community safe, healthy, and moving forward.
Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable holiday!
