You can view the televised portion on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SV3bk1ERjk&feature=youtu.be The City of Weyburn broke for committee of the whole (an in camera session) and when the length of time for this portion is undetermined, and there is not a lot to cover after this portion concludes, camera crews are dismissed and the city reports any further council decisions or changes to media first thing the following day. If the City knows the committee of the whole will be short, camera crews remain on hand to cover the final portion of the meeting.

ATTENTION: The City of Weyburn has completed approximately ¾ of all water meter replacements. We are now in the final stages of the project and 100% participation from property owners is required to make this project a success. In the coming weeks, properties that have been contacted by Corix 3 times, either by mail, phone or door knocking, will be sent a final notice letter. A response to this letter is required within 2 weeks of receipt to keep the project in motion. We thank you for your continued support to complete this City wide replacement program.

It looks like the temperature is set to improve for the weekend! Just in time for WINTERFEST! Check out the poster below for all the fun details! There will also be free swimming at the Leisure Centre from 1-5 and free skating at the Tom Zandee Arena from 1-5 on family day as well.

Council Tonight at 5:00 pm, for those of you unable to tune in there will be a YouTube video posted on the City of Weyburn web page tomorrow.

FYI: Over half of all water meters in the City of Weyburn have been replaced so far and it is anticipated that all water meters will be replaced by Mid-April 2018. Please note that until the project is completed, water usage will be estimated on all utility bills issued by the City of Weyburn. All utility accounts will be reconciled with actual usage data following the completion of the water meter replacement program

The City of Weyburn is continuing to replace water meters as part of the ongoing effort to support residents in water conservation and leak detection in their homes. CORIX Water Products, on behalf of the City of Weyburn, now requires access to the water meter in your home to upgrade this equipment. Field technicians will be visiting residences to attempt water meter installations. Schedule your appointment or find out more at http://www.corix.com/weyburn
