Water and Sanitary Fixtures and Fittings

Latest Status

The assessment and design phases were finalized by R.F. Binnie and Associates Ltd. in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Currently, the project is in the procurement phase for construction activities, with an invitation to tender posted on January 25, 2024.

Overview

The aim of this project is to conduct preventative maintenance and replace corroded valves and fittings along the water and sewer mains. By replacing these components, we aim to prolong the lifespan of the existing infrastructure and reduce the need for future unplanned repairs.

Water main and repair location

Spruce Grove Way at South side of Spruce Grove Park entrance through to the end of Spruce Grove Way on the Fitzsimmons Creek flood water berm. See map below for construction limits.

Sewer Main repair location

Spruce Grove Way at South side of Spruce Grove Park entrance through to the end of Spruce Grove Way on the Fitzsimmons Creek flood water berm.

Construction Impact

During construction, water service interruptions are expected. Notices will be provided to affected residents 72 hours prior to any shutdowns. However, there will be no sewer service interruptions during the repairs.

Construction activities will also result in equipment noise and an increase in the number of construction vehicles. Minor delays and single lane alternating traffic may occur throughout the project duration.

Please note that the Spruce Grove Way sidewalk will be closed from Fitzsimmons North to the Spruce Grove pump station due to the equipment for the overland sewer bypass pipe. Pedestrians and cyclists will be redirected around the work sites via designated detours.

To ensure safety and smooth traffic flow, traffic control personnel will be present on-site. We kindly ask everyone to follow their instructions and adhere to all construction signs.
