We’re upgrading aging sewer infrastructure in the Marpole neighbourhood, along sections of Granville St, West 59th Ave, and West 62nd Ave.
The existing combined sewer system will be replaced with a separated and larger-capacity system, with 1 pipe for rainwater runoff and another pipe for sewage.
The new sewer system will help:
- Handle higher capacities of rainwater and sewage separately
- Accommodate population growth
- Manage heavier rainfall expected with climate change
- Protect water quality in the Fraser River
