Maryse Carmichael, Moose Jaw’s city manager, confirmed in an interview with DiscoverMooseJaw.com that the 0 block of Main Street is on the cast iron replacement agenda this year.

New Solid Waste Management Site Open Houses

Rob

The City of Moose Jaw held a couple of open houses yesterday at the Moose Jaw Events Centre to share information about the proposed Solid Waste Management facility. 

The proposed facility, which would replace the current landfill that will reach its end of life in the next four to five years, would be located about two kilometres directly north of Moose Jaw, and west of Highway 2 on two quarter sections of land. 

Smart Water Meter Project

Rob

One more thing that we want to talk about today and is the city of Moose Jaw’s Smart Water Meter Project. I've had my water meter replaced. It wasn't that big a deal, had to make an appointment, then he found there wasn't enough room for it. And we made room for it and got it done. But it's a project, is it complete now?

Maryse

The City of Moose Jaw Smart Water Meter replacement project is now 75 percent completed.

The $6.5-million project was approved in 2020 with the aim of updating and replacing all of the approximately 12,500 old water meters within the city. The first meters were installed in November of 2022. 

Introduction

Rob

This is Take Five with Carnie and Carmichael, a brand new segment on Discover Moose Jaw featuring Moose Jaw city manager Maryse Carmichael.

The goal is to keep Moose Jaw residents up to date on the issues and the challenges and some of the great things happening in the city of Moose Jaw, with a focus on Moose Jaw City Hall, and the business they do that impacts all of us.

The City of Moose Jaw is raising awareness for safe driving practices around work zones in the city. A part of this push for awareness is the addition of a $150 fine for those who fail to detour around work zones. 

The spring construction season is fast approaching, bringing road closures and detours, and the importance of safe driving is paramount.
