The Town of The Blue Mountains has identified thirteen sections of watermain that have been classified as substandard and require upgrade. Phase 1 of the Substandard Watermain Replacement Program was completed in 2021. Phase 2 construction is anticipated to be completed in the summer of 2023.

Two areas have been identified by Town staff as part of Phase 2 for construction in 2023. These areas are:

  • Napier Street West in Thornbury from Victoria Street South to 96 Napier Street West
  • Woodland Park Road in Camperdown

The construction tender for Phase 2 work closed in mid June, and was awarded to SMRS Construction. Construction began in August of 2023, and is expected to be completed in October of 2023.

Why Now?

The project will improve water movement, firewater flow, reduce opportunities of stagnant water, increase water quality, and provide operational savings.
