Raymer Avenue Watermain Renewal - Phase 2

The objective of this project is to upgrade the existing water infrastructure along Raymer Avenue between Ethel Street and Gordon Drive. The existing cast iron watermain, susceptible to costly breaks, will be abandoned in favour of a new PVC main and will eventually tie-in with the utility upgrades that were constructed in conjunction with the Ethel Street ATC project. Residents along Raymer Avenue will also receive a new water service as part of the upgrades.

Water Street Lift Station Upgrade

The Water Street Lift Station is one of the most critical elements of wastewater infrastructure for the City and as a result of this project, will see a brand-new lift station occupy the site. The facility, in some form, has been in its current location adjacent to Mill Creek at 1831 Water St for over 100 years and has undergone previous renovations and upgrades. The operation now requires a new station onsite to ultimately increase hydraulic capacity as a result of rapid downtown growth and densification within its catchment area.

Lakeshore Sanitary Trunk and Road Improvements (Swordy to Cook)

Sanitary trunk main capacity upgrades are planned from Swordy Rd to Cook Road to accommodate growth in the City.

Road improvements are also planned and include installing sidewalk on the East side of Lakeshore Rd from Swordy to Barrera Road and extending the Lakeshore Rd Multi Use Path (MUP) from Barrera Rd through the Rotary Park parking lot to connect to the MUP on the south end of the park.
