| Clarence Street Sidewalk |
| In 2021 the City completed the extension of the Clarence Street sidewalk to connect the sidewalk of the new phases of Westwood Estates to the rest of the City. This project totaled 500m of new sidewalk and was completed under budget, on time, and was well received by the local residents. The total cost of construction was $128,000.00. |
| Carter Street |
| A portion of the existing watermain servicing Carter Street was located on the rail line property behind the homes, and had reached the end of it’s lifespan. The City relocated 135m of watermain to the Carter Street Right of Way and relocated the water services of 9 residents to the front of their homes. As a result of relocating the water services, each home required additional plumbing to bring the water meters to the front of the homes.
This project was made possible by the Clean Water and Wastewater Grant, in sponsorship with the provincial and federal government.

| In January 2020, substantial completion was achieved for the Janet Street watermain infrastructure update. More than 340 meters of existing watermain and 290 meters of sanitary sewer and storm sewer repairs were needed, with 150mm PVC watermain and 200mm PVC sewermain.
This project was made possible by the Clean Water and Wastewater Grant, in sponsorship with the provincial and federal government.
