New Municipal Infrastructure Announcement

The Town of Deseronto is pleased to announce that we were able to secure significant government funding to assist with the construction of a new Public Works building. This additional building will assist in streamlining our municipal offerings and will improve on service delivery. The new building will be located at the north west corner, within the fenced area at the water and wastewater facility on Water Street.

The Public Works and Water and Wastewater Departments work collaboratively on many projects within our community and this move will help to provide further options to find shared improvements and efficiencies while offering consolidation of our outside services.

Construction has begun with full project completion expected by early 2020.

Council and staff will continue to review and plan for the best use of the existing site while we transition to the new facility throughout the new year.

For further details or if you have any questions, please call Town Hall at 613-396-2440.

The Public works building is seen in the snow on December 12, 2019 .
