Municipal Planning Bylaw Review
The Town has been working with a professional planning consultant to update the Zoning bylaw & devise an official community plan for future growth. As a ratepayer of Herbert, you are a part of this process & are encouraged to contact the CAO, Michelle Mackow, for further clarification, inquiries or share your feedback on presented draft bylaws until Oct. 4, 2024.
A mail-out was sent along with the paper, September utility billings, but anyone receiviing billings via email will not have received it due to the email billing processes not allowing for such attachments. Please view the notification on the website's home page or under Governance/Bylaws & Policies.
Report Streetlight Outages
The Town having to report streetlight outages is a thing of the past. SaskPower has now made it very easy for anyone to report a streetlight outage using their online reporting tool via www.saskpower.com. Simply select the Outages tab located at the top of the homepage > Power Outages > Report an Outage > online reporting tool > enter Herbert > click upon the appropriate street light icon, input any notable information, & follow remaining prompts to complete the submission process.

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.

Dirt (NOT TOPSOIL) from digs, etc. - $25/yd plus delivery (not recommended for lawns or gardens)

EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE NUMBER
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.
