The Pas mayor Herb Jaques spoke to Arctic Radio to give an update on the construction of the town’s new sewage lagoon.

Mayor Jaques says the construction is on time and on budget with no real challenges.

With the new lagoon being built proposals can now be put in to have new buildings such as apartment complexes built in The Pas with provincial approval, something that wouldn’t be allowed unless an upgraded lagoon was built.

The estimated completion date is spring of next year.
