Due to the consistency of the soil near the nature trail, there is a possibility that the project may render the path inaccessible or unusable for longer than the duration of the project. If that is the case we will provide more information as it becomes available to the Town Office.

We look forward to being able to offer better services to our citizens through this Sewer Mainline Extension project.

On Sunday, April 14, 2013, there will be power outages affecting the Town of Cardston and Cardston County. The principal areas affected by the outages will be:
