- Watermains are underground pipes that bring tap water from our water treatment plants to your neighbourhood. As our population grows, we need to build larger watermains to keep providing high quality water services
- Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from your home or business to a wastewater treatment plant. Wastewater is created when water goes down the drain or is flushed down the toilet. As our population grows, we need to build larger sewers to keep providing high quality wastewater services.
About the project
The new 2400mm sanitary sewer will be installed underground by a tunnel boring machine. There will be construction compounds along Lakeshore Road at Jack Darling Memorial Park, at Richards Memorial Park, on Pine Avenue, on Wesley Avenue, Front Street North (within the parking lot and Marina Park area), and the city parking lot at Elmwood Avenue. These compounds are required to insert the tunnel boring machine, mine the tunnel, install the sanitary sewer pipe, and to install access maintenance holes along the route at strategic locations for future sanitary sewer connections.
The new 750mm watermain will be installed by both open cut and trenchless methods, with the section of watermain from Shawnmarr Road to Elmwood Avenue N installed in tunnel via a microtunnel boring machine. Compounds will be required where the tunnel boring machine is being inserted underground and pipe installed.
Where the watermain is being installed within an excavation on the roadway, lane closures will be required.
