In her report to Rocanville Town Council on Wednesday, Rec Director Andrea Logan says the new Universe Satellite Aquatic Centre continues to be extremely busy with people using it from around the region, coming from communities as far away as Redvers and Churchbridge.
There have been 22 rentals in January so far, with lots of rentals booked on weekends.
The town will be starting to do some training courses at the pool soon as well.
WTP filters being replaced
There was lots of talk about water at the council meeting on Wednesday. The town has been struggling with the filters in the water treatment plant and has received some quotes on filter repairs which will cost around $25,000 per filter.
The town has seen some brown water with manganese residue in it recently, and council says they want to rectify any water issues.
Council talks about 2026 projects
Council talked about some of the projects they want to focus on in 2026.
The town wants to ensure that any town operated or owned facilities are fully accessible and will be making that an area of focus this year.
They will also be working on some updates to main street, and finalizing some things on the Jessica Campbell sign like lighting and beautification.

The town will also be offering a community garden again this year in co-operation with another group in town. There are 10 plots at the garden, which is located near the town’s retention pond on Mercer Avenue.
Another area of focus will be some increased recycling opportunities for residents.
Dust control quote approved
Council approved a quote for dust control from Clarke’s Contracting & Maintenance in Virden for 0.407 cents per litre. The town has used Clarke’s in the past and says they are happy with their product.
