During a recent government meeting, officials discussed ongoing water quality testing and updates on the master plan implementation for local parks.

The meeting highlighted the importance of water quality monitoring in the area, particularly concerning local livestock owners' concerns downstream of a dam. Officials confirmed that water testing is conducted weekly, with results available to the public on the Department of Environmental Quality's website. The discussions emphasized the need for continuous testing, especially as spring approaches and water levels fluctuate.

In addition to water quality issues, the meeting provided an update on the master plan for Cote d'Oray park. Construction is progressing rapidly, with foundations for shower houses poured and electrical and water lines being installed. The American Ramp Company is scheduled to arrive on October 7 to install a new bicycle playground, marking a significant enhancement to the park's facilities. Most improvements are expected to be completed by early November, although some picnic shelters may not arrive until December.

Officials noted that landscaping efforts would continue into the next year, with plans for hydro seeding and sod installation to enhance the park's aesthetic appeal. Overall, the meeting underscored a commitment to improving local infrastructure and ensuring environmental safety for the community.
