Sewer pump station upgrades

We’re upgrading several sewer pump stations throughout the city. These stations have reached the end of their service life and will be replaced with larger-capacity facilities.

The station upgrades will:

Provide additional amenities where possible
Help to serve growing neighbourhoods

Location

Various locations throughout the city

Dunbar pump station

We’re constructing a new, above-ground pump station in the southeast corner of Musqueam Park, on the north side of 49th Avenue. This pump station will replace the existing pump station, which has reached the end of its useful service life.

The new pump station will meet new safety requirements and features an earthquake-resilient design with protection against rising sea levels.

Work will begin in the fall of 2024. This work will not impact access to the park or use of park amenities.

Jericho pump station

The pump station will be removed from its existing location on the east side of Jericho Beach Park at West 2nd Avenue because of the cultural and archaeological significance of the area and to increase park green space.
