Council discusses leaks, playground repairs and a future pothole/hydro-vac purchase

Councillors raised several maintenance and public-safety items during the meeting. One member said water runs down a specified road at morning walks and asked staff to investigate a suspected leak; staff confirmed follow-up. Members also discussed a deteriorating playground structure that needs interim boarding and longer-term replacement, with staff noting grant opportunities for new equipment.

A councilor proposed adding a hydro‑vac pothole trailer to a future capital-improvement request to make excavations safer and reduce the risk of damaging fiber and other buried infrastructure during meter swaps. The group agreed the trailer could be considered in a future CIB application rather than the current year's budget.
