Update - May 24, 2023
Our Contractor is continuing to work on Snyder's Road between Foundry Street and Gingerich Road.
Since mobilizing, the Stage 2A (Foundry Street to just west of Coachman's Lane) bike lanes are complete and underground servicing between Coachman's Lane to Whiting Way is on-going.
Due to the depth of pipe, unexpected groundwater levels and poor soil conditions a redesign of approximately 100m of sanitary sewer just east of Coachman's Lane which will require additional time and effort to complete the work. During this time, 24 hour groundwater pumping is required to maintain levels until the redesign is complete and installation can continue.
In an effort to try and limit impacts to the schedule the Contractor is instead installing the sanitary sewer upstream of the redesign area where conditions are more favourable to tie into the 2021/22 works. In order to complete this work, 24 hour sanitary bypass pumping is also needed to carry waste water from the work zone to downstream of the redesign area to discharge into the new 2022 constructed sanitary system west of Coachman's Lane.
We apologize for the inconvenience the 24 hour pumping operations cause, however it is necessary to facilitate the work.
It is imperative that no resident at anytime try to disrupt the operation of the generators running the pumping operations.
Also, due to the work, access to Sir Adam Beck Park has needed to change from time to time and will continue to do so depending on the operations. Currently access into the park is to be from the west.
We ask that local residents take note of these changes and modify their routes in the event passage is prohibited, Most importantly slow down to ensure everyone's safety.
