Tree removal is happening in Okotoks to make room for sanitary construction

The Town of Okotoks will be removing some trees in town, beginning today.

The tree removal will be happening at the Operations Centre and Wastewater Treatment Plant, which will allow the town to construct a larger sanitary main.

This is a larger underground pipe system that carries wastewater from homes, business, and building to the Town's wastewater treatment facility.

Once the construction has been completed, the Town will have new trees planted and some new landscaping enhancements will be completed.

The Town is looking at the possibility of using the wood from the cut down trees for community art projects.
