April 2020

Starting next week, specialized contractors will be starting work to map a large portion of the City’s storm/system. These contractors will be conducting camera inspections of City owned storm and sewer pipes in areas of town that connect to one of our main outfalls, Outfall I. Work will begin in the area that includes Heron Road, Gull Crescent, a section of Prince Rupert Blvd (between Alberta Place and Prince George Street), Raven Place + Crescent, and Cormorant Place, starting May 4th. 

Tonight, Council held their regularly scheduled 7 pm meeting, open to the public through livestream at www.princerupert.ca/live, and broadcast on Channel 10/310. Due to Provincial Orders, currently Council Meetings are closed for physical attendance from the public.

Note there is an emergency water main repair at 6th Ave West and Fulton street today. Local area traffic will be impacted by street closures in the area to enable repairs. Please obey all posted traffic signage and controllers. Thank you for your patience.

Please be reminded that the Utility discount deadline, which was extended to April 30th, is coming up next week. Given the current closure of City Hall, alternative payment methods to in-person options are available - such as paying online, or by cheque or money order in the mailslot beside the Customer Service door at City Hall (up the ramp on the east-hand side of City Hall at 424 3rd Avenue West - look for signage identifying the mail slot).

The landfill will be closed for a portion of Easter long weekend. See below for holiday hours. 

Friday- closed
Saturday - open regular hours (10:00am – 3:45pm)
Sunday - closed
Monday – closed

Please continue to follow all signage laying out proper COVID-related safety procedures in your visits to the landfill. Thank you for your understanding. 
 

The City of Prince Rupert is requesting that residents help reduce the potential for cross contamination during garbage service by cleaning/disinfecting your garbage lids between pick ups. Please support keeping your neighbours, our essential service providers and their families healthy. Thank you for your cooperation.
