Sewer Gravity Main & Lateral Rehabilitation & Renewal

OVERVIEW

The Sewer Gravity Main & Lateral Rehabilitation & Renewal program is an annual program that's purpose is to replace or repair sections of sanitary line that have been identified as requiring repair and maintenance or requiring up-sizing. In 2023 and 2024, comprehensive CCTV inspection of the City’s sewer system was undertaken by T2 Utility Engineers to inform condition assessment and prioritization of upgrades. Using this information a Sanitary Sewer Network Condition Assessment and Prioritized Work Plan was developed to help guide annual work planning. Projects identified in the sewer gravity main and lateral rehabilitation and renewal program for 2026 include:

• Mutas Loop Sanitary Upgrades - Phase 1
• Project 2 TBC

Mutas Loop Sanitary Upgrade

In 2024, the City retained McElhanney to assess the network capacity of the sanitary system in the Bend Road / Mutas Road area. Network modelling was completed to understand the impact of existing infrastructure and future development on the network. This work identified a series of upgrades that will be completed in phases.

Phase 1 is scheduled to be completed on Mutas Road in May 2026.

CONSTRUCTION IMPACT

Sections of road will require closures throughout the construction period. Large vehicle traffic will not be permitted to enter the Woodenhead Loop during construction.

Road closures and detours will be clearly marked with traffic cones, and traffic control persons when required. Please follow all detour routes, drive cautiously, and protect our construction zone workers.
