Underground Pipe and Asphalt Replacement

UPAR

Potential postal strike

Notifications for residents in UPAR areas are typically delivered by hand each year, and that will continue to be the case in 2025 if there is a postal disruption. The City of North Battleford will also use electronic messaging boards to communicate important information to residents.

UPAR 2025 information coming soon.

Each year, the City Council approves several infrastructure improvement projects in North Battleford, funded by a portion of the taxes paid by property owners through the Underground Pipe & Asphalt Replacement (UPAR) levy.

UPAR construction is scheduled to take place from mid-May through the fall of this year. Timelines will be communicated to community members in advance, particularly to those whose neighbourhoods and properties will be directly affected by the necessary work conducted by the City and its contractor.
