Underground Pipe and Asphalt Replacement

UPAR

Construction and work on the 2024 UPAR Projects will begin on August 6, 2024. 

A full overview of the project areas, including a map, is included in each document below.

Every year, City Council approves a number of infrastructure improvement projects in North Battleford that are funded by portion of the taxes paid by property owners - the Underground Pipe & Asphalt Replacement levy - or UPAR.

UPAR construction will take place between early June and fall of this year. Timelines will be communicated to community members so they will know what to expect in advance - particularly those whose neighbourhoods and properties will be directly impacted by necessary work by the City and its contractor.

UPAR: Underground Pipe & Asphalt Replacement

MAC: Maximum Accepted Concentration

Sanitary Sewer: an underground pipe or tunnel system for transporting sewage from houses and commercial buildings (but not stormwater) to a sewage treatment plant for disposal

Sub-base: the layer of aggregate material that lies immediately below the pavement and usually consists of crushed aggregate or recycled materials

Milling: the process of removing at least part of the surface of a paved area such as a road, bridge, or parking lot

Service Line: the pipe or conduit, water meter, and valves connected on one end to the curb stop, the other end terminating inside the User's building, to provide water service

Potable Water: water that is considered safe to drink

Service Trench: used for installation of underground infrastructure or utilities (such as gas mains, water mains, communication lines, and pipelines)

Temporary Service: a 1-1/4" poly service line that will be set up in your back alley (commercial) or in the front of your property (residential) to provide alternate accessibility to City main water lines during construction periods - intended to provide the property owner with access to (non-potable) water during lengthy service disruptions - a boil water advisory accompanies a temporary service to ensure the water is safe for human consumption
