Concern over infrastructure has county council invite oil and gas bigwigs to meeting

Times Reporter

 

Representatives from the ERCB and the oil and gas companies were invited to the Wheatland County offices to discuss concerns with council. Councillors are worried about the infrastructure along Township Road 270 to the 840. Council was wondering what can be done about the road because of all the cumulative effects of high traffic, and are looking for help. There are a number of different operations along that stretch of road, and though no one company has enough traffic to affect the road, combined use has caused concerns. After some discussion the meeting was put off until a future date to further discuss everything when there is more information available.  The meeting will be between the Public Works Department and the representatives.
