Water truck rolling again

Record breaking temperatures are in the forecast the next week in Terrace. And what accompanies hot weather? Dust!

Similar to previous years during hot and dry months, PCL is taking preventative measures to manage dust on and around the Mills Memorial Hospital construction site.

A water trailer is - and will be - on site at all times throughout the summer. Depending on conditions, the water truck sprays the site and surrounding areas, several times a day, to keep dust settled.

Part of the truck's route is along the road, between the site entrance on Tetrault Street (Gate 1) to the site entrance on Haugland Avenue (Gate 2), near the main entrance of the current hospital.

A hose is also located at each site entrance, and is used, as needed, to hose down vehicle tires. This prevents the tires from gathering and spreading dust into the air.

Stay cool!
