Completed Projects (2022)
Description of Project
- The watermains along Western Avenue from Church Street to Brownsville Court, Castlewood Avenue and Elmwood Avenue will be rehabilitated using a trenchless relining method.
- Relining watermains is less impactful to residents. Instead of digging up the entire road, the contractor will excavate pits to access the main at strategic locations. The relining process involves cleaning the inside of the watermain, inserting the liner and then curing the liner in place.
- The Township has decided to take this cost effective and less impactful approach of relining the existing pipes to extend the service life of these watermains and improve reliability and durability.
Completed - Q4 2022
Description of Project
- Due to aging infrastructure, the watermain, water services and fire hydrants, along Brownsville Court and the municipal walkway between Brownsville Court and Western Avenue are to be removed and replaced.
- Once installation of the watermain is complete, existing curbs, granular road base and asphalt will be removed and replaced along Brownsville Court.
Completed - Q4 2022
Description of Project
- Sanitary sewer mains are being constructed in Nobleton. Sanitary sewers are an important component of urban infrastructure given they reduce the risk of leaked water-borne contaminants that can come from septic systems, they are maintained and operated by municipal and regional government to ensure consistent functionality, and it creates ease for property owners as they eliminate the need for maintain or replace septic systems.
Completed - Q3 2022 (Maintenance Period Ends Q4 2023)
- Rectification of minor deficiencies through maintenance period
