This project will focus on a section in the busiest zone of the downtown, between the Tim Horton’s and civic address 3484 Principale St. The ageing pipes are in very poor condition and are in need of repair to address infiltration problem and to avoid annual water main breaks. The scope of work will include: - Replacing 330 metres of existing and adding 230 metres of new concrete-asbestos sanitary sewer mains with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) lines - Replacing 330 metres of existing and adding 230 metres of new iron pipe water mains with PVC lines - Replacing 330 metres of existing concrete storm sewers with high-density polyethylene pipe and concrete pipe - One new wastewater pump station - Reinstating the road along the 0.33km area of work, with the addition of active transportation concepts such as a bike path. The streetlights will be upgraded to LED, along with a 435m section from Phase 1. This project is Phase 2A of a four phase project to replace the critical infrastructure on Principale Steet. The project aims to help ensure the community has access to reliable potable water, and can better manage wastewater and storm water in an environmentally sustainable manner. As well as being able to use active transportation to safely commute through the downtown area.
