Construction of Storm Lift Station – Drainage of Caplin Road

Please be advised that Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government has initiated the second phase of the Storm Drainage Upgrades for the Caplin Road Area.  As part of this major project, a new storm water lift station will be constructed near the intersection of Caplin Road and Interprovincial Blvd.

Once completed, Listuguj will be able to pump the storm water directly in the Restigouche River near the intersection of Caplin Road and Riverside East Road, utilizing the recently installed piping system on Caplin Road.  This project will increase the reliability of the storm system and provide better protection during major storm events.

During the work, heavy equipment will be periodically entering and exiting the work area.  We ask that you remain conscientious of this equipment and that you keep an eye on younger children and pets to avoid any accidents.

The work is anticipated to be completed by late May / early June 2021.

We recognize that the planned work will be an inconvenience, and your patience during these upgrades is greatly appreciated.
