This program renews aging infrastructure, improves water quality, and reduces the risk of watermain breaks. A temporary watermain will be installed to maintain the water supply to all impacted homeowners during construction. The temporary watermain will be disinfected and tested for microbiological quality, then connected to your home via the outside water tap. There may be a minimal interruption to the water supply for your home during the switch over. Two-metre by two-metre excavations will be required at valve and fire hydrant locations and intervals along the watermain to provide access for cleaning, inspection, and lining equipment. Trench work or removal of sidewalks or driveways should not be required. Please note that it is the Region’s policy to reinstate all roadways, boulevards, driveways, and lawn areas that are disturbed after the construction work is completed. Every effort will be made to minimize the impacts on residents. Before full service is restored, the lined watermains will be disinfected and tested to ensure that the water quality continues to meet the Ontario Drinking Water Quality Standards. The contractor, North Rock Group Ltd, will start work at the end of March. The duration of construction work is sixteen (16) weeks. Clean-up and restoration should be initiated and completed by August 2025. Please note that unfavorable weather conditions may affect the work schedule. During construction, access to driveways and all commercial and residential properties will be maintained in most instances, including emergency traffic and waste collection. The Region realizes that this work may be disruptive and will make every effort to complete the work as quickly as possible.
