Downtown water main lining and infrastructure renewal beginning this week
June 15, 2026 - 1:59pm
Phase 1: Temporary water construction work will be starting the week of June 15 and is expected to take two weeks.
Phase 2: Replacing the water main on 4th Avenue from 24th Street to 25th Street is expected to begin the week of June 29. This will close the intersection of 4th Avenue and 24th street for approximately three weeks.
Phase 3: Installing a new storm sewer on 4th Avenue from 24th Street to 25th Street is expected to begin the week of July 13 with a tentative completion in mid-August.
Phase 4: 25th Street water main rehabilitation work will begin the week of August 3 and last for approximately 12 weeks.
The City would like to remind residents to expect traffic disruptions, as watermain, storm sewer and road rehabilitation work will begin the week of June 15, on 25th Street East from Spadina Crescent East to 1st Avenue North, as well as on 4th Avenue between 24th Street and 25th Street. This work is expected to take five months, weather permitting and subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances.
This project will be done in phases:
Temporary water service will be provided to affected properties for the duration of construction. Once temporary water lines are installed, access to roads and driveways within the work zone will be restricted, and pedestrian detours may be required to support safe movement through the area, including accessibility considerations where needed.
Traffic impacts will include one lane of traffic maintained in each direction where possible, with delays expected throughout the duration of the project. Parking will also be affected at times, with on-street and adjacent lot parking unavailable during certain stages of construction, and users will need to make alternative arrangements.
Project updates will be provided bi-weekly by email during construction. To receive updates, residents and businesses can email constructionupdates@saskatoon.ca with the subject line “Downtown WM Project” or call 306-975-2476.
Drivers are encouraged to follow posted detours and use caution when travelling near construction zones.
Saskatoon Transit may be affected by these detours. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.
For more information about current road restrictions and construction, visit saskatoon.ca/construction.

University Bridge scheduled to reopen to traffic the week of June 29, Link work continues on College Drive
June 12, 2026 - 4:30pm
Work continues on College Drive as part of the Link project as well as the University Bridge arch rehabilitation project.
University Bridge and College Drive at Clarence Avenue are on track to re-open to two-way traffic, with one lane in each direction, during the week of June 29.
The College Drive work is proceeding on budget but has experienced early-stage delays due to weather, utility relocations and the unexpected discovery and removal of legacy underground infrastructure, including former building foundations, basements and historic trolley rails within the roadway.
Drivers are asked to follow posted detours and use caution when travelling near construction zones.
For more information about current road restrictions and construction, visit saskatoon.ca/construction. More information on Link is available at saskatoon.ca/Link.

Easier access ahead: new MyProperty service to bring City notices online this fall
June 11, 2026 - 11:04am
The City of Saskatoon is preparing to launch MyProperty in fall 2026. MyProperty is a new secure online service for residents who prefer easy digital access to their official City of Saskatoon notices.
MyProperty will allow property owners to view, download and manage their property tax notice, assessment notice, utility billing and more online in one convenient location.
Property owners will find their unique access code printed on page one of their June City of Saskatoon utility bill (and each month thereafter) or on their 2026 property tax notice. Residents who will want to use MyProperty should keep their code to set up their MyProperty account when the service launches.
Paper notices will continue for those who prefer them.
A note for current eBill customers
If you already receive utility bills through eBill, no action is needed at this time. More information about how MyProperty will work with your existing service will be shared closer to launch.
Learn more at saskatoon.ca/mypropertyinfo.

Road restrictions at 8th Street and Cumberland Avenue for Link construction
June 5, 2026 - 2:00pm
Beginning Monday, June 8, traffic restrictions will be put in place at the intersection of 8th Street and Cumberland Avenue as construction begins on new Link stations in the area.
Drivers can expect lane restrictions in all directions through the intersection. Portable traffic signals will be installed and will temporarily replace the existing traffic signals for the duration of the work.
Construction is expected to take approximately six to eight weeks, weather permitting and barring unforeseen circumstances.
Drivers should expect delays, allow extra travel time and follow all posted signs and temporary traffic signals. Pedestrians will not have access to cross at the intersection, so alternative routes will be required.
Saskatoon Transit may be affected by these detours. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.
This work is part of Saskatoon's Link project, a modern transit system designed to improve transit capacity, reliability and connectivity across the city.

Following the direction of City Council, Indigenous Support teams are now working in the community to be an additional resource in Saskatoon’s Coordinated Community Safety Plans.
In teams of two, Indigenous Support staff will be focused on supporting the Downtown BID and the Riversdale BID, including the Pleasant Hill neighbourhood. Through the summer, each team will spend 40 hours per week in these BIDs. They will be in casual clothing, wearing Hi-Viz vests, with the City of Saskatoon logo on the front and “Support Team” on the back, as well as City identification cards on a lanyard to help people know who they are. Each team will have an unmarked car to assist with transportation to services.
Shifts and patrol areas have been determined based on incidents and call data from the Coordinated Community Safety reports, made up of data from Saskatoon Police Service (SPS), Saskatoon Fire Department, and Commissionaires. These will be regularly assessed and adjusted to provide help where and when it is most needed.
Responsibilities include:
The Support teams have been trained in:
All have Vulnerable Sector Security Clearance.
They will be collecting data including:
The teams have had orientations with Fire Community Support and the Fire Department’s Unhoused team. They will also be meeting with SPS’s Alternative Response Officers, Community Mobilization Officers, and Bike Unit.
They met with the City’s Auntie Advocate, Dorthea Swiftwolfe and had a prayer and smudge to help start the Indigenous Support Team project in a good way.
The move comes after the City Administration had been in discussions with the Saskatoon Tribal Council to develop the Indigenous peacekeeper pilot project but had to pause planning. However, because of the urgency for additional support, the Administration created an interim pilot with the Corps of Commissionaires.

June 4, 2026 - 4:30pm
- <250 m³/s – Novice paddler; flatwater conditions
- 250–400 m³/s– Intermediate paddler; those with moving water experience
- 400–600 m³/s – Expert paddler; paddlers with moving water experience
- 600–800 m³/s – Only expert paddlers with whitewater experience
- >800 m³/s – Dangerous – Stay off the water
- Call 911 immediately to report the incident, noting details about the individual, time and situation.
- Keep track of recognizable landmarks around the area where the individual was first seen in distress in the water.
- Coach the individual from the shore edge on the below noted tips for water self-rescue.
- Stay calm.
- Keep your head above the water.
- Remove any heavy or bulky clothing items.
- Don’t fight the current; move with the current as you work your way to the shore edge.
More water is on its way from Gardiner Dam: the speed and height of the river is rising which increases safety risks. The Water Security Agency advises river flows are expected to increase from the elevated current rate of approximately 240 cubic metres per second (m³/s) to approximately 700 m³/s starting on Sunday.
It’s expected the river will rise by about 60 cm or approximately two feet. However, that is not high enough to cause flooding of riverbank areas such as the Meewasin Valley Trail. High flows are anticipated for the next week.
“This represents a significant increase and with that, there’s an increase in the potential dangers on or around the river,” says Saskatoon Fire Department (SFD) Deputy Chief Sean Thody.
Deputy Chief Thody urges anyone who may be around the river and along the riverbank to keep their distance, adding swimming in the river is prohibited in Saskatoon.
“Although the river may provide a tempting option to cool down on hot days, the South Saskatchewan is unpredictable. Aside from the changing, dangerously fast currents and unstable bottom, it will have many additional hazards right now such as fallen branches, hidden material like broken concrete and floating debris that will pose a threat to anyone in or near the water.”
Thody further warns SFD is not allowed to put rescue divers in the water above 450 m³/s because it poses a safety risk to the divers.
The Fire Department is working with the Meewasin Valley Authority and will monitor the water flows and will advise everyone including recreational user groups of the greater flow rate. Saskatchewan Search and Rescue suggests the following guidelines for paddling activity:
Saskatoon Water
Saskatoon Water is prepared for the greater flows. While expecting more sediment and cloudiness in the river, processes are in place to handle extra clarification that may be needed. Water service is not expected to be impacted by the rising river levels.
Bridges
The rising and faster flowing water is not expected to pose any threat to bridges nor cause any significant challenges for construction projects. The City’s Asset Preservation team continues to talk with contractors working on both the Broadway Bridge and the University Bridge to ensure their staff remain safe.
Swimming is prohibited in the South Saskatchewan River
As mentioned, Bylaw No. 4433 prohibits swimming in the South Saskatchewan River within city limits.
View weir from a safe distance
The South Saskatchewan River is equipped with a weir to alter the flow and discharge of water along the river. This barrier produces a powerful backwash of water that can trap objects and people. The weir must never be approached and should only be viewed from designated areas along Spadina Crescent East.
Pet safety
Just as a fast river poses risks to humans, it is also risky to pets. Pet owners are reminded to keep a close watch on their pets – especially in off-leash areas where they could get into the river. The best advice is to avoid these areas for the coming days.
Water rescue tips
If you witness someone in distress in the river:
If you are in distress in the river:
Always be cautious near the river. In an emergency, call 911 immediately.

Annual Mosquito Control Campaign Underway
June 4, 2026 - 10:45am
- Remove any standing water from their property
- Ensure items in and around the property like pool covers, saucers under flowerpots, children’s toys, pet bowls and wading pools are regularly emptied or replaced with clean water
- Clean eavestroughs regularly so water does not collect in them
- Empty and clean bird baths twice weekly
- Keep their yard free of debris, such as old tires that can hold rainwater
- Ensure openings in rain barrels are covered with mosquito screening
- Consider treating standing water that cannot be removed or screened with a product containing Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti)
The City of Saskatoon’s mosquito control program focuses on reducing mosquito populations while in their aquatic (larval) life stage. Managing mosquitos at this stage has the greatest impact on reducing adult mosquito populations.
The City regularly investigates and treats mosquito development sites across approximately 902 square kilometres, which includes the city of Saskatoon and a surrounding buffer area.
Mosquitos use standing water to reproduce. An increase in rainfall in the last few years has created habitat in places that have not been active in a very long time. We can continue to expect to see more activity as we accumulate rainfall.
Regularly changing or removing standing water can have a significant impact as some species can complete their life cycle in as little as four days.
To help control the mosquito population residents can:

City administration seeks approval for Material Recovery Centre expansion project
June 3, 2026 - 4:16pm
On Tuesday, June 9, City Administration will present an approval report to the Standing Policy Committee on Environment, Utilities and Corporate Services (EU&CS) to expand services at the City’s Material Recovery Centre (MRC).
Through the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund (CHIF), the Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan will contribute funding for the project, which includes establishing a permanent facility for household hazardous waste (HHW) drop-off as well as the acquisition of new equipment and roll-off bins.
“The Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund (CHIF) supports the development of the essential water, wastewater, stormwater and solid waste infrastructure needed to build more homes, faster,” said the Honourable Buckley Belanger, Secretary of State for Rural Development. “Investments like these support our government’s goal of addressing the housing crisis head-on by helping cities like Saskatoon grow the way they need to.”
“The Government of Saskatchewan strongly believes in the importance of infrastructure to help grow and build a stronger province,” said the Honourable Eric Schmalz, Minister of Government Relations. “The funding for this project is an important next step for the city, with our government looking forward to its completion and providing a permanent option for residents to dispose of household waste.”
“This investment makes a real difference for our community,” said Mayor Cynthia Block. “A permanent household hazardous waste facility will help residents safely dispose of materials year‑round, while protecting workers, neighbourhoods and our environment. We’re proud to work with our federal and provincial partners to deliver infrastructure that supports a healthier, more sustainable Saskatoon.”
“We’re very pleased to receive this funding from the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund,” says Brendan Lemke, Director of Water & Waste Operations. “A permanent HHW facility, along with new equipment and roll-off bins, will better serve residents as our city grows. These investments will improve how we safely manage waste while supporting our long-term waste diversion goals.”
Through CHIF, the Material Recovery Centre Expansion Project was approved for $4,925,508 in eligible costs, of which $3,611,875 is funded by federal and provincial partners. The remaining $1,313,633 will be funded through existing City capital sources, with no new capital funding required. If approved, the HHW facility could be operational in 2027.
Participation in the City’s seasonal HHW drop-off program has grown steadily since its introduction, with depot visits increasing from 2,257 in 2024 to 2,715 in 2025 – a 20 per cent year‑over‑year increase – and total material collected rising from 60.33 tonnes to 69.88 tonnes. This trend demonstrates strong public demand despite the program’s limited, once‑weekly seasonal schedule. To better meet this demand and support overall growth at the MRC, the proposed expansion includes both a permanent, enclosed HHW facility and new equipment. Together, these investments will enable year-round HHW collection, improve site operations and material handling, and enhance the safe management of hazardous and bulky waste, reducing risks such as fires, chemical reactions, and worker exposure.

Dundonald Avenue Solar Farm online: City boosts local energy generation
June 2, 2026 - 10:00am
Saskatoon Light & Power (SL&P) today officially opened the Dundonald Avenue Solar Farm, a 2.8-megawatt clean energy project. The Director of SL&P says the move represents a significant step toward achieving the City’s long-term climate commitments and its goal of reaching net zero emissions by 2050.
“Today marks an important milestone for our city as we celebrate the grand opening of the Dundonald Solar Farm,” says Mayor Cynthia Block. “This project is a powerful symbol of our commitment to clean energy, forward-thinking innovation, and meaningful collaboration. By harnessing renewable energy, we are not only reducing our environmental footprint but also strengthening our energy security and resilience. Projects such as these help ensure a reliable energy supply for our community while supporting the transition to a lower-carbon economy.”
“We are proud to be part of a growing movement toward cleaner, more sustainable communities, and we look forward to continuing to work with our partners to advance innovative solutions that benefit residents now and for generations to come.”
Located on approximately 5.7 hectares (14 acres) of previously undeveloped land between the CN railway tracks and Circle Drive South—east of Dundonald Avenue and south of 11th Street West—the Solar Farm marks the fourth powerhouse built by the City over its rich 120-year history, and the second major clean energy project undertaken by the City in recent years, following the successful Landfill Gas Power Generation Facility.
The Dundonald Avenue Solar Farm will generate enough renewable electricity to power more than 400 homes, roughly equivalent to a neighbourhood the size of the Willows or Richmond Heights. Over its 30‑year lifespan, the project is expected to reduce community greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 23,000 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent—the same as removing more than 160 cars from Saskatoon’s roads every year.
“The opening of the Dundonald Avenue Solar Farm is a major achievement for our community,” Trevor Bell says. “By adding local solar power to the Saskatoon Light & Power distribution system, we’re reducing emissions, strengthening our energy resilience, and creating long-term value for residents. It’s a milestone we’re proud of, and one that will deliver benefits for decades.”
A Strategic Investment in Saskatoon’s Energy Future
The total project cost is approximately $7.3 million, with just under $2.6 million in funding provided by federal and provincial partners through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP). Thanks to this support, the Solar Farm is projected to pay for itself in about 15 years through reduced electricity purchases from SaskPower.
“As Saskatchewan continues to grow, our energy needs are growing with it, and that creates a real opportunity for communities like Saskatoon to lead,” said the Honourable Buckley Belanger, Secretary of State for Rural Development. “The Dundonald Avenue Solar Farm will add more clean power to the local grid and support sustainable growth in the Saskatoon area. We’re proud to work with the Government of Saskatchewan and the City of Saskatoon on projects like these that strengthen communities today and position them for the economy of tomorrow.”
The solar installation feeds directly into the SL&P electrical distribution system, contributing clean, locally generated electricity to Saskatoon’s power grid while supporting provincial efforts to transition to a carbon neutral electricity system by 2050.
“The Government of Saskatchewan joins residents and city officials in celebrating this important milestone as it comes online,” said the Honourable Eric Schmalz, Minister of Government Relations. “Strategic investment in infrastructure strengthens Saskatchewan’s energy future, advancing Saskatchewan’s all‑of‑the‑above approach to energy security.”
Advancing the Low Emissions Community Plan
The Dundonald Avenue Solar Farm is a key initiative under Saskatoon’s Low Emissions Community Plan, which outlines the City’s pathway to net-zero emissions. As Saskatoon currently relies heavily on nonrenewable, carbon-intensive electricity sources such as coal and natural gas, local renewable generation is essential to reducing emissions and improving long-term energy security.
About the Dundonald Avenue Solar Farm
Size: 2.8 MW
Location: East of Dundonald Avenue, south of 11th Street West
Land area: ~6 hectares (14 acres)
Lifetime emissions reduction: ~23,000 tonnes CO₂e
Equivalent impact: Powers 400+ homes; removes 160+ cars from the road annually
Project cost: ~$7.3 million
External funding: ~$2.57 million (federal and provincial - ICIP)
Payback period: ~15 years

Hampton Village fires remain under investigation
June 1, 2026 - 8:16pm
The Saskatoon Fire Department continues to investigate the cause of fires on the 400 block of Geary Crescent that Friday destroyed four homes, six garages and caused damage to a total of 20 properties in Hampton Village.
The Deputy Chief who leads the team of fire investigators, says everyone understands the devastating effect of the fires, but that a probe of this nature takes time.
“In order to respect our fire investigation process, we will be very factual and thorough before we give a cause and origin,” says Deputy Chief Yvonne Raymer. “But at the end of the day, it may also be undetermined.”
Just after 12 p.m. Friday, May 29, fire crews arrived in just under six minutes to heavy black smoke and at least one home fully on fire. A second alarm was immediately called.
Thirty-two firefighters responded to the scene including two aerial trucks, four engines, a rescue engine, Command 9, a safety officer, battalion chief and deputy chief taking about two-and-a-half hours to get the flames under control.
All occupants evacuated safely – no injuries to residents or firefighters were reported.
Later Friday, the fire department had a City excavator knock down remaining structures to make it safer for investigators to do their work.
Raymer cautions about any speculation related to building materials and neighbourhood density.
“Saskatoon is not abnormal from any other city in the way we plan and develop our neighbourhoods. This is, in fact, accepted across Canada. We are not making a bylaw that makes this sub-par for affordable housing.
“All those structures met the minimum requirements of the National Building Code of Canada. All structures in the City of Saskatoon go through a permit process and have a building inspection.”
Raymer says firefighters did everything that could be expected as difficult, optimal fire conditions were present Friday and likely the main factor. She explains winds were over 30 Km/h, the temperature was above 30 degrees and the relative humidity was around 30 per cent.
“When we look at wind conditions and the extent of where the fire was -- it was burning so hot -- it was being pushed and was wind-driven.”
The Fire Department is offering support to the families and residents affected by the fire.
There is no word on when the investigation will be complete. Raymer says the fire investigator still has interviews to conduct and do necessary paperwork for homeowners to provide insurance companies.
More information will be shared when it is available.

Saskatoon Fire Department calls two alarm fire in Hampton Village
May 29, 2026 - 4:57pm
Saskatoon firefighters responded shortly after noon Friday to reports of a large house fire on the 400 block of Geary Crecent. Crews arrived in just under six minutes to heavy black smoke and at least one home fully in flames in the Hampton Village neighborhood on the city’s northwest. Four homes are destroyed with two others damaged.
“This is a devastating loss for these families,” says Deputy Fire Chief Sean Thody. “To see four houses burn is never a good thing. Our hearts go out to the families that have lost their homes.”
Recognizing the intensity of the fire, a second alarm was immediately called. In all, 32 firefighters responded to the scene including two aerial trucks, four engines, a rescue engine, safety officer, battalion chief and deputy chief.
“I want to commend the crews for the tremendous stop they made and that we are not in a worse situation than we are now.”
Thody says winds were over 30 Km/h, the temperature was above 30 degrees and the relative humidity was around 30 per cent.
“That’s never a good recipe for fire. When it gets started in those optimal conditions it’s very complicated to get it under control.”
Crews battled the flames for about two-and-a half hours until they had it in hand. Six back-alley garages have also been destroyed. A fire also started in a home across the street but firefighters quickly had it doused.
There are no reports of injures to residents, pets or firefighters. Emergency Management Organization used notifynow to inform area residents of the disruption in the immediate vicinity that would impact Transit routes, school pick-ups and local traffic.
Fire Inspectors will investigate as soon as the area is safe. Crews remain on scene to put out any spot fires.
More information will be released when it is available.

Water pressure restored for east-side neighbourhoods following reservoir and water main commissioning
May 29, 2026 - 3:52pm
Water pressure has been fully restored for east-side neighbourhoods, as commissioning of the Acadia Drive reservoir and primary water main has been completed.
Voluntary water restrictions have now been lifted, and residents can now resume typical outdoor water use. The City thanks residents for their patience and understanding during this important infrastructure project. By limiting unnecessary water use, residents helped crews complete the work sooner than expected.
Acadia Drive between Taylor Street E and Avondale Road remains closed until mid-June to allow for remaining work and repaving.

East-side residents asked to avoid outdoor water use until after June 1
May 27, 2026 - 12:00pm
- Will I still have water? Yes. Saskatoon Water customers will continue to have safe, high-quality drinking water.
- Do I need to boil my water? No. Drinking water quality will not be affected. If a boil water advisory is ever required, the City will notify residents.
- What if I lose water? Outages are not expected. If you experience one, call the Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476.
East-side residents in impacted areas are strongly urged to avoid outdoor water use, including lawn watering and sprinkler systems, until water restrictions lift on June 1, 2026. Restrictions are in place due to the Acadia Drive primary water main project, which began on March 23, 2026.
Water service remains safe to consume and reliable throughout the work. Limiting outdoor water use is essential to help keep neighbourhood water pressure as steady as possible during construction.
Frequently asked questions:
This project is needed to deliver long-term water quality and reliability. The City thanks residents for their continued patience and cooperation during this important work. For more information on the project, please visit saskatoon.ca/AcadiaPWM.
