The project, the town explained, represents a significant milestone in its ongoing commitment to responsible asset management and infrastructure renewal.

“Our water/wastewater department takes great pride in maintaining town infrastructure and ensuring taxpayers receive the maximum value from every asset,” said CAO Leann Graham. “Through the leadership of our director of operations, Melissa Robbins, and our water/wastewater foreman, Grant McQuay, we have been able to extend the service life of these lift stations well beyond what many communities experience by prioritizing regular inspections, preventative maintenance, equipment repairs, and strategic upgrades. This rehabilitation project will modernize crucial components within both lift stations, improving reliability, operational efficiency, and the town’s ability to continue providing dependable wastewater services to residents and businesses.”

The Town extended its appreciation to Honourable Nate Horner, MLA for Drumheller– Stettler and Honourable Devin Dreeshen, Minister of Transportation and Economic Corridors, for their support in helping advance this important project.

“The Alberta Municipal Water/Wastewater Partnership provides great opportunities for shared investment in local infrastructure upgrades,” Horner said. “Through this partnership, the Government of Alberta is proud to work with the Town of Stettler on their lift station project to ensure ongoing reliable services for residents and to allow for growth in the community in the future.”

Construction on the lift station rehabilitation project is currently anticipated to begin in 2027, with detailed design and project planning taking place in advance of construction.
