Total Residents-342 Surveyed

We did not received data from 11 households.  The data collected is essential when applying for funding for our community.  We are now working with Western Health to provide gift baskets for seniors.  These baskets will be free and delivered to the doors of a select age group.

Lift Station

The Lift Station on Springhill Drive was plugged and sewer was unable to run through properly.    Several times in the last few months the Lift Station has been plugged with mop heads and rags.  We would like to urge people flushing these down their toilets that this not only affects them but everyone located on that lift station.  We are asking that residents be more careful with what they are flushing.  Thank you.

Flushing Water Lines

The Towns water lines will be flushed from Monday June 9 2014 to Friday June 13 2014.  At times you may experience low water pressure.  Water is still on boil order until further notice.

Parsons Pond Volunteer Fire Brigade

Parsons Pond volunteer fire brigade and firettes would like to thank everyone who helped with the bake sale.   A $525 donation was donated to the Janeway telethon,from the proceeds of the bake sale.

Waste Management

The Long Range Waste Management Site is now open to the public Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. 

We would like to remind residents that there is a limit of six bags per household.

You are not permitted to put your bags of garbage in another household container.  We are receiving complaints that people are putting their waste in other people’s containers without permission.  This is not permitted.  If there is more than one household in one container inform the town office so they can notify the garbage collector.

   

Student Employment

We have applied for funding and will be accepting resumes for summer 2014. Please submit your resume with your level education to the town office.

Central Development will also be accepting resumes.  Please forward resumes to their office if you are interested.
