Project Description:
The West Street Watermain Replacement includes the design and replacement of watermain and appurtenances along West Street between Sugarloaf Street and a location 100 meters southerly. The current watermain is nearing the end of its useful lifecycle and in need of replacement.
The detailed design and geotechnical sampling and field surveys is scheduled to be completed in 2023. Upon completion of the design, City Infrastructure Staff will initiate the procurement of a qualified contractor to complete the installation of the new watermain. The anticipated timeline to complete the construction portion of this project is in the spring/summer of 2024.
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 West Street Watermain would greatly benefit from replacement.
In August of 2021 City Staff presented the opportunity to obtain funding for the replacement of watermain in various locations to City Council. The West Street Watermain Replacement was included in the application of the Green Environmental Quality Infrastructure Stream Funding.
External Support:
The City of Port Colborne has retained Associated Engineering Ltd to complete the design of the West Street Watermain replacement. The qualified consulting firm has provided professional engineering services to municipalities within the Niagara Region, including the City of Port Colborne, for over 25 years.
Approved Budget: Total Approved Budget: $660,000
City Funding: $174,655.89
Federal Funding: $264,741.57
