The improvements will be made in the northeast section of Warman with over 70 per cent of the cost covered by the federal and provincial governments through the Canadian Housing Infrastructure Fund. The remainder will be covered by the City of Warman.

The project will:

-Increase storm sewer capacity in northeast Warman;

-Eliminate surface flows south of the Legends golf course and along the Ferry Road ditch;

-Improve storm water management by redirecting flows to existing storm infrastructure.

Currently, storm water is pumped to an open ditch south of the golf course and then travels through multiple culverts toward Ferry Road. The approved project will replace this system with larger, buried storm piping that will redirect flows to the storm holding pond near the dog park. From there, water will be discharged through an existing 1.2 metre concrete pipe to the river.
