Polybutylene Water Service Line Replacements

Overview

The Operations and Infrastructure Department maintains the Town of Georgina’s Keswick and Sutton Water Distribution Systems, including necessary preventative maintenance and infrastructure replacement projects.   

Polybutylene water service connections installed in the 1980s have reached the end of their expected service life and are beginning to fail. These service connections need to be replaced to eliminate water leaks and reduce service disruptions. The Town has identified areas in Keswick where polybutylene water services were installed. The polybutylene services will be replaced on an annual basis.
