Stonewood Sewer System Enhancement Project is Underway!

Essential improvements to the City of Stonewood's sewer system are currently underway. The existing system, which was originally installed in 1965, is in need of replacement. This project involves replacing 13,000 feet of outdated sewer lines to improve the overall infrastructure. Once completed, this project will solve the significant inflow and infiltration (I&I) and capacity issues that historically caused severe system backups.

The main line installation will transition from main roads to residential areas. Work will be conducted where the City has existing rights-of-way or has acquired new rights-of-way. Some residential yards may be impacted - these, as well as all roadways, will be repaired after construction.

All roads damaged during the project will be repaved, ensuring minimal disruption to the community. Residents are requested to be patient with traffic delays as the work progresses.

The project is scheduled to be completed by November. We appreciate the community's patience and cooperation as we work to enhance our infrastructure.

For any questions related to rights-of-way, please contact Jimmy Paugh of the Stonewood Sanitary Board at (304) 641-5107.
