We’re upgrading critical water, sewer, and street infrastructure and adding green rainwater infrastructure features along West King Edward Ave from Dunbar St to Arbutus St. These vital improvements will serve this growing neighbourhood for years to come.
Work includes installation of 1.5 km of water main and replacement of the existing combined sewer with a separated and larger-capacity system, with one pipe for rainwater runoff and another pipe for sanitary sewer. This new water and sewer infrastructure will have a life expectancy of 100 years.
