Watermains on various streets in the Churchill Square area are scheduled for rehabilitation work (CIPP Lining) during the 2022 and 2023 construction seasons.

The work will take place between early September 2022 to November 2022, and then stop for the winter. The work will begin again in Spring 2023 and is anticipated to be completed by Fall 2023.

This project will involve cleaning and structural lining of the existing watermain which will reduce maintenance issues, improve water service, and extend the life of the existing watermain in this area.

Businesses and homes will receive water through a temporary, above-ground, water piping system installed along the street during construction. The contractor will notify residents directly if their property is included in the project area and indicate whether they will require access to the property to provide temporary water service. Two-way traffic and pedestrian access will be maintained where possible but delays can be expected. The contractor will make every effort to maintain driveway access to properties located within the work site.

You can find information related to the project on this page. Have a look through the Frequently Asked Questions and if you still have questions, you can post them in the Questions and Answers tool.
