Starland County has been working on expanding the rural water supply connections to farms in the areas north of Craigmyle and north and west of of Morrin. The County has secured funding assistance from the Canada – Alberta Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund (CAMRIF), and is working towards finalizing the design of the project and preparing it for tender.

The Drumheller Regional Landfill is on target for completion of phase one upgrades to the landfill.

The upgrades will allow the landfill to meet new Alberta regulations, and will give the landfill extended life of operation. The estimated deadline for phase one completion is the middle of September.

“As of today we are on schedule, however with all the rainfall lately, I am not sure how long that will last,” said Waste Management Coordinator for the Drumheller & District Regional Landfill, Tammi Nygaard.
