What’s happening:
The City of Guelph is renewing the 100 Steps watermain, originally built in 1902. The contractor, Fer-Pal Construction Ltd (Core Aqua) will be using a trenchless lining method called cured-in-place pipe (CIPP). The 100 Steps Watermain is located between Huron St./Elizabeth St. intersection and Grove St./Metcalfe St. intersection.
Why:
This work will help extend the life of the watermain with minimal digging and ensure the longevity and reliability of the water distribution system.
When:
Construction will begin on March 17, and we expect all work to be completed by April 13 (weather permitting). Construction will take place between normal working hours (Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.)
Changes during construction:
Traffic lanes: Lane reductions on Elizabeth Street and Grove Street. Two-way traffic will be maintained.
Sidewalks: The west sidewalk on Grove Street at Metcalfe Street and the east sidewalk on Elizabeth Street at Huron Street will be closed.
Guelph Transit: No changes.
