The City of Moose Jaw is working to address recent waste collection delays. Due to mechanical failures within the collection fleet, waste collection is behind schedule today and anticipated to be behind most of this week.

If you have questions about your collection, please call the Engineering Department at 306-694-4448.Construction Zone Safety Reminders
The City of Moose Jaw is asking motorists to exercise caution around construction zones to ensure safety for all. Between road enhancements and water/wastewater infrastructure replacement and repair, at any one time there are dozens of crew members working across multiple active construction sites. “During my 17 years with the city, there have been countless occasions where vehicles and pedestrians have ignored the control measures in place and entered our worksites,” said Jason Trzaskowski, Crew Lead in the Water/Wastewater department. “These control measures are a vital part of our operations, and are there not only for our safety, but yours as well. If you see detour or road closed signs, please obey them. If you see service vehicles, flashing yellow lights or four-way signals, working equipment, or workers on the road, please slow down and use caution. At the end of the day, we want everyone to make it home safely.” Moose Jaw Police have also advised that they are closely monitoring construction zones and have already issued numerous tickets for infractions within the construction zones this summer. The City of Moose Jaw thanks you for your patience while we work to build our City.Quick Response Limits Impact of Oil Leak
The City of Moose Jaw continues to work with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment and Water Security Agency to oversee cleanup and remediation efforts at the Hillcrest Golf Course following an oil leak. Late Wednesday morning the City was notified of a substance in the creek near the Hillcrest Golf Course on Main St. North. The substance, confirmed to be unused 15W-40 motor oil, accidentally entered the creek via a storm drain from a business on the North Service Road, approximately one kilometre from where it was discovered. Upon discovery the City’s Municipal Operations department immediately engaged the Ministry of Environment and led a containment, cleanup and remediation effort. The Moose Jaw Fire Department assisted by placing absorbent booms in the creek to contain the oil within the creek and prevent further migration downstream. The oil is presently contained in the creek at the golf course. The contained oil is not moving and there is no oil at the golf course’s first retention pond. Currently, there is no risk of contamination of the Moose Jaw River. Contractors are presently on-site conducting water flush and capture within the storm drain lines and preparing for clean up of the creek. Cleanup booms, spot vacuuming and oil absorbent pads are all being used. Additionally, proper disposal procedures of all materials are being followed. The majority of cleanup and remediation efforts are expected to be complete by tomorrow (July 19), with evaluation by the Ministry of Environment to follow. The City of Moose Jaw thanks all involved for their assistance in containing this leak, and thanks the Hillcrest Golf Course for their patience during the cleanup efforts.Ladybugs to be Released for Aphid Control
The City of Moose Jaw Parks and Recreation Department will soon release lady bugs for aphid control. A total of 20,000 ladybugs will be released in areas of extreme aphid infestation. Each ladybug can eat up to 50 aphids per day, making them a very efficient method of pest control. Releasing beneficial insects such as lady bugs is an effective, eco-friendly way to manage pest levels in the city. We kindly ask residents to leave ladybugs outside and be careful with any insecticide applications to minimize impact on our beneficial insect populations.
