Message from the Mayor

Dear Residents of Milestone,

I am pleased to share some important updates about our community. The Town of Milestone is currently working on two major multi-year projects that are vital for our future: Closing the Landfill and Upgrades to the Water Treatment Plant.

Closing the Landfill: With the Ministry of Environment regulations becoming more stringent, many small rural urban areas like ours are required to close their landfills. We have been fortunate to receive grant funding for this project, but it will not cover all costs. However, we do have viable options, including establishing a transfer station to manage our waste efficiently. More details about this project will be available as they come available.

Upgrades to the Water Treatment Plant: We will also be upgrading our Water Treatment Plant in the near future. These upgrades involve transitioning from greensand to a bio-based system, which will significantly reduce the frequency of backwashing and decrease water usage for operation and maintenance. In the long run, this upgrade will save money on maintenance and chemicals, ensuring a more sustainable and cost-effective water treatment process for our community.

These projects underscore our commitment to maintaining a high quality of life in Milestone. While the grant funding we have received is a great help, it will not cover all expenses. We are dedicated to completing these projects responsibly and transparently, keeping you informed every step of the way.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we work to enhance our community. Your involvement and feedback are always valued.

Warmest regards,

Jeff Brown

Mayor of Milestone
