Construction details

Who will be doing the work?

A private contractor, Greenspace Construction Inc., selected through the city’s public tender process will do this work.

When will the work begin and how long will it take?

Weather permitting, construction will begin on or about July 11, 2022, and should be complete by the end of December 2022.

How will the reconstruction affect me?

In order to carry out this work, it will be necessary to temporarily close a section of the Forwell Trail between Forwell Creek Road and Dearborn Boulevard. A trail detour route has been established and is posted at either end of the closed section of trail. Construction will not require any road closures and will not prevent access to any private properties.

Will sanitary sewer and water services be interrupted?

As part of this project, a section of watermain between Forwell Creek Road and Dearborn Boulevard will be replaced. Sewer and water service will be maintained throughout the duration of construction; however, residents at 55 Blue Springs Drive may experience short interruptions during the installation of a new gate valve. This work is scheduled to take place overnight, and should be completed over the span of a few hours. During this period, potable water will be supplied to the building by a reputable water hauler using water from a fill station within the City of Waterloo. Advance notification will be provided where possible before any planned service interruption.
