The first phase of the five-year project to rehabilitate 100-year-old infrastructure on Water Street is nearing completion with all the underground work on schedule to be complete by June 30. Much of the paving work that is required to complete phase one is weather dependent and some work may continue in July; the City will provide another progress update next week.

While all underground work is on schedule to be completed by June 30, there is a possibility that paving may continue in to July.

Once the project is complete, the City will hold a debrief session with business owners and other impacted stakeholders to discuss lessons learned through phase one to ensure we can apply these learnings to the next phases of the project.

Some of the major work completed to date includes new: sewer lining; manholes; sanitary sewer pipe; storm sewer pipe; catch basins; and, new traffic infrastructure at the intersection of Queen Street and Water Street.
