“Over the past several years, major improvements have been made to the City of Yorkton’s drainage infrastructure, especially though the Dracup Avenue corridor, at a cost of millions of dollars,” René Richard - Director of Engineering and Asset Management with the City told Council as background to the request for the new study.
In addition, the City commissioned the Flood Mitigation Study – February 2017,“which investigated the 11 “problem areas” within the City and recommended upgrades. Since that report, the City has completed two of the recommended 13 upgrade projects,” he added.
“Millions of dollars have been spent and millions more will be spent as part of the long term plan.”
