District Project Updates – Aberdeen Sewer Project
Council received a report outlining the status of current District projects, including the Aberdeen Sewer Project. Sewer installation is now complete, and road restoration is underway. The road is being brought back up to grade and prepared for paving. Paving between Whisbey Drive and Rendell Drive is complete, with the remaining paving scheduled for the first week of November. Once paving is finished, crews will complete driveway and landscaping restoration, line painting and final site clean-up.
The road is expected to be open to traffic mid-November.
Residents looking for information about the next steps for connecting their homes to the sewer system can contact the Building Department.
