The Town of Gravelbourg will undergo a significant infrastructure improvement project beginning with the decommissioning and dismantling of the 1928 water tower in August 2024. The project scope includes the replacement of the watermains on 1st Avenue, Main St, Bettez St, and 7th Avenue with completion expected by the end of 2026.
