At a public hearing on August 16, Niverville’s town council entertained a developer’s request to rezone a parcel of land from Agricultural Limited to Commercial Corridor.

The Town of Niverville’s boardroom was the setting for a major public announcement on August 18. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of four municipalities in the rural southeast, plans can now move forward in the construction of a shared wastewater treatment plant which will serve Niverville and the RMs of Ritchot, Hanover, and Tache.

There’s a new online tool that some residents of Ritchot may not yet be familiar with. It’s a portal on the RM website called Service Request and its aim is to provide a convenient way to report concerns spotted around the municipality.

It may be difficult to believe that a neighbourhood in our corner of southeast Manitoba could be living under a regular boil water advisory (BWA) in 2022. But that’s exactly what residents of Southside Estates in Île-des-Chênes have been dealing with for the better part of 20 years.

It’s been almost three years since The Citizen first reported the story of a young Winnipeg couple whose dream of moving to Niverville was dashed in a high-profile real estate fiasco.

Niverville’s water utility services have made some significant strides this summer with the near-completion of a $5-million-dollar project located along Fifth Avenue South. The new water treatment plant is expected to be fully operational sometime before the spring of 2023.
