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.
This work also includes:
- Installation of a temporary watermain, allowing the Contractor to reline the existing watermain without any long term water shut-offs.
- Replacement of all water services up to property line and curbstops under 25mm.
- Replacement of a number of existing fire hydrants.
- Installation of additional fire hydrants to ensure fire safety.
- Replacement of small sections of existing watermain.
Most Recent Update - September 2022
- The construction works are now mostly complete with only a few minor deficiencies remaining. Outstanding deficiencies will be completed by the end of the year.
- The 30-day sod maintenance period will end on September 30th, 2022, at which point an inspection will be completed. If no further deficiencies are noted, all maintenance and watering responsibilities will be transferred to the homeowners.
Expected Timelines / Milestones
- This work is scheduled to start as early as Spring (Q2) 2022, and is expected to be completed by Winter (Q4) 2022.
