Farwell St. Watermain Cleaning and Structural Lining maintenance

As part of The Regional Municipality of Durham’s ongoing infrastructure maintenance program, watermains in your neighbourhood are scheduled to be cleaned and structurally lined this year (map attached). This program renews aging infrastructure, improves water quality, and reduces the risk of watermain breaks.

Two-metre by two-metre excavation will be required at the main valves. Please note that it is the Region’s policy to reinstate all roadways, and boulevards areas that are disturbed after the construction work is completed.

Every effort will be made to minimize the impacts on residents. The lined watermains will be disinfected and tested to ensure that the water quality continues to meet the Ontario Drinking Water Quality Standards.

The contractor, North Rock Group Ltd, will start work in mid-May. Clean-up and restoration should be initiated/completed at the end of June. Please note that unfavourable weather conditions may affect the work schedule.

During construction, access to driveways and all commercial and residential properties will be maintained in most instances, including emergency traffic and waste collection. The Region realizes that this work may be disruptive and will make every effort to complete the work as quickly as possible.

The dates shown are tentative and may change based on the contractor’s schedule.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact North Rock Group Ltd. or the following staff members from the Regional Municipality of Durham, Works Department: Claudiu Vilcu, Site Supervisor or Chris Haloway, Project Supervisor.
