The Steinbach City Council is set to hire a contractor to replace the sewer system on Millwork Drive during a meeting on March 3, 2026. This project in Steinbach, Manitoba, is part of a larger plan to improve the city’s pipes and support new housing in the community.
The work involves replacing an aging sewer main that helps move wastewater through the city. This project was first identified as a priority in the city’s 2025 financial plan to help prevent issues during heavy rain and flooding.
This upgrade is one part of a $132 million plan to modernize how the city handles wastewater. Mayor Earl Funk has previously stated that these upgrades are a key factor in how the city will manage its growth throughout 2026.
Millwork Drive is a strategic area for the city as it houses the Public Works Department. People living or working in the area should expect construction crews and temporary impacts on local roads or driveways during the project.
The move to hire a contractor follows a recommendation from the City Manager’s office. This project is intended to follow the city’s official community plan, which focuses on building cost-effective and sustainable infrastructure for residents.
