South Park, Strachan, and Harvey Street Sewer Separation and Water main upgrade

completed

The Sanitary and Storm Sewer Separation Project will see the installation of new sanitary sewers and storm sewers. The storm and sanitary sewer work will eliminate any catch basins, cross connections and drainage issues which allow storm water runoff to directly enter the sanitary sewer system on the subject streets. When completed, this measure will collectively reduce extraneous flow in the sanitary sewer system and at the water pollution control plant. This will also result in a reduction in deteriorated treatment plant effluent released in to the environment and an improvement to the water quality of the receiving water body, the Bay of Quinte, which is the community’s drinking water source. The old 1920’s water main on South Park and Harvey Street will also be upgraded and replaced as part of this project. This is expected to increase fire flows in the area. Strachan St from North Front St to St Charles St (approx. 320m); South Park St: all (approx. 100m); Harvey St: all (approx. 100 m).
