The County of Wetaskiwin No. 10 is beginning its annual street sweeping program for all paved roads in its hamlets and subdivisions on Monday, May 4, 2026. This seasonal maintenance, announced by the county on April 30, will proceed depending on weather conditions.

The cleanup efforts will take place across all eight of the county’s hamlets, including Alder Flats, Buck Lake, Falun, Gwynne, Mulhurst Bay, the Village of Pigeon Lake, Westerose, and Winfield. Residents should be aware that crews will be working on paved and oiled roads, and cleaning equipment may temporarily block access to streets while the work is underway.

While the county manages a total of 120 kilometres of paved and oiled roads, the vast majority of its 2,028-kilometre road network consists of gravel. The street sweeping program is a specific task focused on these paved areas to remove winter debris.

For any questions or concerns regarding the road maintenance, residents can contact the Public Works Call Centre at 780-361-6241.
