About the project
The City of Guelph is working with Drexler Construction to install storm sewers along Lowes Road to address flooding caused by heavy rainfall. The storm sewers will be installed along Lowes Road and will connect to existing stormwater infrastructure on Gordon Street. Once installed, the storm sewers will reduce flooding on Lowes Road during heavy rains.
Work begins January 8
