WATER RESTRICTIONS REMAIN REMAIN IN EFFECT

The Municipality is once again falling behind at the lift stations. Although conditions may appear normal at the surface, they are not; significant groundwater continues to enter the sanitary sewer system and is placing extreme pressure on municipal infrastructure.

Residents are asked to reduce water use wherever reasonably possible, including laundry, long showers, dishwashing, and other non-essential water use. We understand that conserving water is challenging, but every reduction helps prevent sewer backups and system failures.

Sump pumps and groundwater must not discharge into the sanitary sewer system. If your sump pump is connected to the sewer, disconnect and redirect it immediately to a location where the water cannot flow back into the sanitary sewer system.

Free sump-pump discharge hose is available at the Municipal Office. If you need hose, please ask. If you need assistance determining how to properly reroute your sump pump, please contact the Municipal Office.

The Municipality of Roblin is asking residents to report any flood-related damage to private property resulting from the recent flooding event.

To report flood-related damage, submit an online form available at: www.roblin.ca/2026flood or by contacting the Municipal Office by telephone at (204) 937-8333.

Handivan Rentals

The Municipality may occasionally allow Handivan rentals; however, rentals are not guaranteed and are subject to availability and approval.

Before a rental may be considered, the Municipality requires:

  • a copy of the proposed driver’s valid driver’s licence; and
  • a recent driver’s abstract dated within the last three (3) months.

Approval is subject to review of the driver’s abstract, availability of the Handivan, and the Municipality’s discretion. The Municipality may refuse a rental request where the driver’s abstract raises concerns or where the Handivan is otherwise unavailable.
