☀🚧 Summer is construction season in the County, and crews have been hard at work.

We've got projects that are complete, in progress, and ones that we're starting soon.

All are working to create safer and better roads throughout the County.

⚠️UPDATE: due to project delays, the water main maintenance in Fairview will now occur on MONDAY, AUGUST 31, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

We apologize for any inconvenience this scheduling change may cause.

🚫💦To our residents and business in Fairview: there will be a water shutoff on Thursday (August 27).

The City of Lethbridge will be carrying out work on the water main that serves Fairview, which means WATER SERVICE WILL BE UNAVAILABLE, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday.

To prepare, you may consider filling a few containers with water on Wednesday so you have what you need for drinking, cooking and washing during the shutoff.

Once service is restored, you might notice some discolouration or air in your lines. Running a cold tap for a few minutes will usually clear it. County Utilities staff will also be flushing the system and sampling water following the shutoff.

Some weeks regional collaboration means navigating detailed mutual aid agreements. Other weeks it means sharing a float and flipping pancakes together. 😊 Both contribute to stronger communities and brighter futures.

🥔 It’s National Potato Day!

Potatoes are becoming an increasingly important crop in Lethbridge County. Our extensive irrigation networks help producers grow this high-value crop right here in southern Alberta.

And the story doesn’t end at harvest.

Our region is home to three major potato processing facilities—including McCain Foods right here in Lethbridge County. Together, processors turn locally grown potatoes into fries, hash browns and other frozen foods enjoyed across Canada and around the world. 🌎 (Like those fries our Comms Coordinator enjoyed in Tokyo!)

From our fields to tables around the globe, potatoes are helping grow our regional economy and feed the world.

Now that’s something worth celebrating! 🥔
