PSA: Evergreen Village Phase I Upgrade Project Resumes

The Town of Paradise advises that Phase I of Evergreen Village Upgrade Project is scheduled to resume the week of May 1, 2023, and continue through the 2023 construction season. Phase I is expected to be completed this year. 

 Phase I involves upgrades to the water, sewer and roads on Ashgrove Drive, Willow Drive, and a section of Evergreen Drive (between Ashgrove Drive and Willow Drive). For the 2023 construction season, work will focus on installing a new watermain, sanitary/storm sewers, and curb and gutter on Willow Drive and part of Evergreen Drive.  

Due to the nature of the work, residents can expect traffic delays and disruptions during the project. Traffic control measures will be on-site for the duration of the project. As power lines are buried in this neighbourhood and are in the vicinity of the construction area, throughout this work, frequent power interruptions are expected during the workday.  For any power interruptions, power will be re-stored prior to the end of the workday.  

For the safety of all residents, the neighbourhood playground on Ashgrove Drive will remain closed until the project is completed.  

The aging infrastructure in Evergreen Village is among the oldest in the municipality and the Town is committed to completing the much-needed upgrades. The overall upgrade project is expected to take several years to complete, with work being planned for 5 Phases. Once completed, residents will have a better and more reliable water and sewer service from the upgraded infrastructure.

The Town apologizes for the inconvenience caused by this work and thanks residents for their patience and understanding as this infrastructure upgrade project is completed in Evergreen Village.
