ELNORA COUNCIL
Speed monitors vandalized
Terri Huxley
ECA Review
In the early morning of Mon. March
8, it was reported that all four speed
monitor signs within Elnora were
vandalized.
Wires were pulled and cut so the
electrical display nor surrounding
lights could not operate.
Administration explained these are
covered under insurance so that process
is now underway in order to have
them repaired.
Council was unsettled by the act.
Mayor Leah Nelson mentioned she
felt discouraged by RCMP’s lack of
reaction to follow up on community
matters in the past but Three Hills
RCMP Sgt. Jamie Day explained that
they plan to be more present in the
area, already doing so with 19 visits in
the last month – the second highest
attendance behind Delburne where a
satellite office is set up for a member.
Report data can show spikes in
crime so he has asked to have the community
who acts as another set of eyes
and ears to report any suspicious
activity as that leads to a stronger
presence.
Pumphouse water grant status
Elnora applied to the Alberta Water/
Wastewater Municipal Partnership
(AWWMP) in hopes of securing
funding to put towards the village’s
pumphouse facility.
Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)
Sharon Wesgate shared a few concerns
the pumphouse is experiencing
including issues with the manifold,
generator, the foundation and roof, and
flow metre.
The manifold is a six-inch cast iron
pipe that is original to the construction
of the facility in 1960 and is now in
poor condition due to age and rust.
There are three wells to supply
water and lines from the pumps to the
manifold are not all the same size.
“There is a grave concern it could
fail at any time, disrupting water service
indefinitely in the community,”
she said.
As for the generator, the exhaust
pipe can be found red hot which is an
indication of overworking to operate.
The facility itself when constructed
61-years-ago was made of cinder block.
The walls and roof have deteriorated
past the point of repair and the floor is
now in poor condition with holes
where amendments to the distribution
system were undertaken.
Lastly, the flow meter to measure
output does not work at this time.
With these pressing concerns, the
CAO reached out to the AWWMP
administrators to see when the new
accepted projects
applications will
be announced.
They are also
in the process of
planning their
capital projects
for the year but
also want an
answer they can
incorporate into
this.
Denette Leask

replied saying
that project
approvals are
announced after
fiscal year end
but with the limited
budget and

ongoing demand for the program, she
was unsure if any new approvals will
be given this year.
Council passed a motion, directing
the CAO to respond by reiterating their
concerns as the facility has been failed
as non-compliant.
Public washroom enquiry
A letter from resident Jack Scott
asked the village about having the
public washrooms open year round
and to have a space for truckers to
park.
He emphasized the need for public
washrooms as he explained in his
letter that many people from Highway
21 come to Elnora for this purpose but
often have no place to go other than the
hotel or someone’s home.
Council had previously discussed
this matter when it was raised by the
same resident approximately three
years ago but it was decided then that
the cost to construct a washroom and
maintain it 24/7 was not financially
feasible.
This time around it was mentioned a
couple specific grants could be useful
in obtaining funding to renovate the
campground washrooms to accommodate
all-year-round access.
Council agreed it was something to
look at in the future and was perfect
for any grant-ready projects that
require quick turnaround times to
submit.
As for the second concern of large
truck parking, Scott said, “People don’t
realize for every truck is a job and a
family. I may be driving truck soon. If I
can’t bring my truck home I will
move.”
In council’s current traffic control
bylaw, it prohibits the parking of
trucks and trailers on village streets.
Repairs
Perry Warner Plumbing submitted
an invoice for $1,428 to supply and
install a water heater at the Elnora
Fire Hall as well as travel and discharge
expenses.
The hall was noted as non-compliant
under safety codes so the work was
mandated.
This project is now completed.
Council accepted this as information
as a motion was already made to pay
for this.
