The work includes removing iron buildup inside the watermain. Iron deposits can build up over time, affecting water colour and reducing water flow.
After watermains are cleaned, a liner is applied to protect the pipe from future iron buildup. The City says this will improve water quality and flow capacity.
Other work will include testing existing water service and mainline valves, replacing valves and hydrants and relocating and installing new hydrants where required to improve fire protection.
Temporary watermains will be in place along the curb. When the work is completed, affected curbs, streets, sidewalks, driveways and boulevards will be restored.
The work will be completed in two phases.
Phase one begins this week on the following streets:
· Rink Street, from Stewart Street to George Street
· Lake Street, from George Street to Crescent Street
· Gilchrist Street, from McDonnel Street to Dublin Street
· Bethune Street, from London Street to Dublin Street
Phase two is likely to begin next month on the following roads, according to the City":
Chambers Street, Hunter Street to Brock Street
Clonsilla Avenue, from Whitefield Drive to The Parkway
Union Street
Edinburgh Street, from Union Street to George Street
Dublin Street, from Water Street to Waterford Street
Parkhill Road West, from Fairbairn Street to Stormont Street
Montague Court, from Nevin Avenue to 994 Montague Court
