The Town office often receives requests for various landscaping materials, but as a municipality, we can only offer what we require for regular town maintenance. Landscaping materials can be sourced through our local supplier, Brent Doyle of B.A.D.'S Trucking; call 306-629-7778 for more information. Swift Current also hosts landscape suppliers depending on the product that's wanted. We'll give a shout-out to Nijo Yard Supplies Plus! 
It's also important to note that a 3-yard maximum of any of the Town supplied materials is allotted per household for a cost, plus delivery at $20/load; be it a loader bucket (holds three yards max) or a skid steer bucket full at a time (carries one-yard max).

We offer:    Gravel (3/4" rock with sand) - $30/yd plus delivery.
                    Crusher dust - $35/yd plus delivery
                    Dirt (NOT TOPSOIL) from digs, etc. - $25/yd plus delivery (not recommended for lawns or gardens)
                    Sand (NOT SCREENED) - $20.00/yd plus delivery
                    Sand salt - $68/yd plus delivery

The Town has now gone live with an EMERGENCY Maintenance telephone number.
CALL 639-926-7100

This is only meant for reporting a serious issue; for example, your basement is filling up with water & you haven't the means to shut the water off; the shut-off cannot be located, or the valve has seized making it impossible to shut the water off. This would be considered an emergency for Town staff. Staff would turn the water off at the curb to stop water from running into the house until the situation is resolved.

It is not meant for anyone with sewer issues. You'll need to call a sewer service or a plumber.

Once the municipal assessment roll has been completed, homeowners are given the opportunity to appeal a property assessment. However, it's important to understand that the appeal process is about appealing an error in the assessed value of your property or classification of your property; homeowner's cannot appeal their tax levy.

For a better understanding, click on the following link: Assessment Appeals Guide in Saskatchewan for Citizens

All property must be assessed. If you have property within your municipality that does not have an assessed value, you will need to contact the Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA).
