Cedar and Henry Street - Watermain replacement to address water quality issues, and Stormsewer construction

completed

This project will include the replacement of the water main, sanitary sewer repairs and the reconstruction of the road including storm sewers. One of the storm sewer outlets for the Cedar Street project is located on Henry Street, so it will be necessary to reconstruct the existing storm and sanitary sewers on Henry Street as part of the project. Therefore, the block of Henry Street between Everett Street and Cedar Street has been included as part of this project. The storm sewer outlet on Henry Street will have its storm sewer extended, a continuation of the project from a few years ago where the portion from Coleman St. to Everett St. had a storm sewer installed as part of the Everett St. Sewer Separation Project. The project will also address water quality issues experienced. The water main is shallow and was installed in 1920; replacement is needed. Significant colour issues were experienced in the Cedar St. water main every time the fire hydrant was operated at the fire hall at the end of Cedar St. This indicates an issue on the inside pipe wall of the water main. The hydrant has been removed from regular service until the pipe is replaced. The road surface is in poor condition, and is on a bus route, this makes the project a candidate for reconstruction.
