2026 Water and Sewer Main Replacement Program

The City of Yorkton will begin the 2026 Water/Sewer Main Replacement Program on May 17, 2026.

This year’s work will take place on Dalebrooke Drive, from Lakeview Road to Mountview Road, and will include replacement of aging underground water and sewer infrastructure.

This work is part of the City’s ongoing efforts to reduce service disruptions, replace aging infrastructure and support safe, reliable water and sewer services for residents.

Project timeline

Expected start date: May 17, 2026
Expected completion: September 30, 2026

Timelines are weather-dependent and may shift based on site conditions, construction progress and other factors.

What work is being done?

The 2026 Water/Sewer Main Replacement Program includes:

  • Replacement of aging sewer main
  • Replacement of aging water main
  • New water and sewer service connections from the main to property lines
  • Manhole and valve upgrades
  • Stormwater improvements
  • SaskEnergy gas line improvements
  • Road reconstruction
  • New pavement, curb and sidewalk work

Once underground work is complete, the road surface will be reconstructed and paved.

Why this work is needed

Water and sewer mains are critical infrastructure that support everyday life in Yorkton.

The infrastructure in this project area was identified as a priority based on the condition of the underground pipes, previous water main breaks and inspection findings. Replacing this infrastructure now helps reduce the risk of future breaks, service disruptions and more costly emergency repairs.

What residents can expect

Residents and drivers in the area may notice:

  • Temporary road closures
  • Detours and local-access-only areas
  • Construction equipment and crews
  • Noise, dust and vibration
  • Temporary parking restrictions
  • Short-term service interruptions, where required

Affected residents will receive direct notice from the contractor before work begins in their area. The contractor will also coordinate with residents and collection providers for garbage, recycling and organics collection during construction.

Traffic and access

Traffic accommodation plans will be in place throughout the project.

Local access will be maintained where possible, but some short-term access disruptions may be required as work progresses. Please follow posted signs, use detour routes and watch for workers and equipment in the area.

Stay updated

Project updates will be shared on this page as the work progresses. Updates may also be shared through the City’s website, social media and Voyent Alert.

Thank you for your patience as this important infrastructure work is completed. Seasonal construction can be disruptive, but replacing aging water and sewer infrastructure helps keep essential services safe, reliable and sustainable for the long term.
