Project Description:
The Homewood Avenue Watermain Replacement includes the design and replacement of approximately 600 meters of old cast iron watermain and appurtenances along Homewood Avenue between Clarence Street and Sugarloaf.
The detailed design and geotechnical sampling and field surveys are scheduled to be completed in 2023. Upon completion of the design, City staff will initiate the procurement of a qualified contractor to complete the watermain replacement.
Background:
Following a Water Infrastructure Needs Study conducted in 2014, City staff thoroughly examined historical watermain break records, water quality test results, and water quality complaints. The purpose of this assessment was to identify potential watermain replacement projects throughout the City and as a result, staff identified the Homewood Avenue Watermain would greatly benefit from replacement.
In August of 2021 City Staff presented the opportunity to Council to obtain funding for the replacement of watermain in various locations within the City's water distribution network. The Homewood Avenue Watermain Replacement was included in the application of the Green Environmental Quality Infrastructure Stream Funding.
