Town reviews water flushing plan and potash mine talk
The town coordinates with Manitoba Water Services Board to test flushing versus swabbing of pipes as sediment and grit concerns arise. A new gear box for the Russell water plant arrives to restore quality, while a possible potash mine is discussed with Minister Vic Schroeder. Officials consider a funding split for a road paving project and a proposed Conjuring Creek wastewater plan faces grant eligibility questions. Russell Ready Mix supplies gravel and sand for street work, and Crime Stopper funding aid is discussed as town officials prepare a walking tour and June meeting.
