Roads

The RM manages dust along gravel roads using magnesium chloride. This chemical is only applied adjacent to a residence with a written request from the landowner.

 

The custom work rate is $225.00/hr plus applicable taxes, for a minimum 30-minute contract.   This rate applies to:

• Motor Graders in the summer for lane grading 

  • Public works staff will grade private roads when a grader is previously scheduled to be in the area. 

  • Custom grading is not available during the winter.

• Front-end loaders in the winter for snow removal

Other equipment rental rates will follow the rates outlined in Saskatchewan Heavy Construction Association (SHCA) Equipment Rental Rates & Membership Roster.  Other equipment rentals will be at Council's discretion.

If you are a non-ratepayer or represent another municipality, you or your municipality can also request custom work contracts, subject to Council approval.

Please fill out the attached form and submit it to the RM Office to request custom work. You can drop off the form at 100 Hutchence Rd., Emerald Park, SK S4L 1C6, or email it to info@edenwold-sk.ca.

After a heavy snowfall, public works staff prioritize the order in which roads are plowed. We strive to provide a fair and equal service during and after snowstorms. Our main high-traffic grid roads, and country residential developments, receive top priority. Bus routes get cleared as a matter of course with all other roads, but in extreme conditions, bus routes are given priority. 

In Emerald Park, public works prioritizes:

• Bus Routes
• South Plains Road
• Kingsmere Avenue
• Sapphire Drive, and
• Emerald Drive

After public works staff plow these routes, focus shifts to the remaining streets, roads, crescents, and bays, followed by walkways.

Outside of Emerald Park, public works prioritizes:

• Bus Routes
• High Traffic Main Roads
• Paved Roads, and
• Country Residential Subdivision Roads
  
  

After public works staff plow these routes, focus shifts to the remaining grid and farm access roads. Not everyone can be first served, but we do alternate our routes each time out to be as fair as possible.
