2023/2024 Waterline Rehabilitation Project

Background and Scope

Water Distribution Rehabilitation projects are designed to replace aging water infrastructure in the distribution system either identified in the Water System Master Plan, by Operational Staff, or ahead of other projects. This phase of work includes replacing approximately 4,000 lineal feet of 2” to 8” wide waterlines located in the following streets:

  • Cabana Lane from North Shore Road to 644 Cabana Lane
  • Galen Road from 73-80 to end (hydrant)
  • Johnson Terrace from Hazel Road to end
  • Pioneer Court from Bryant Road to end
  • Touchstone from Hotspur to Falstaff
  • Yorick loop off Touchstone 
  • Uplands Drive from Wembley Park Road to Ridgecrest Drive
  • Tanglewood Hills Condos - off Touchstone 
  • Parkhill Street

These pipelines have reached the end of their useful life and are more susceptible to leaks and breaks until they have been replaced. The project will replace these pipelines with new ductile iron pipes and associated services to the existing water meter boxes.
