Overview
The Town of Georgina is undertaking the replacement of approximately 815m of cast iron watermain along Queensway South (Joe Dales Drive to Miami Drive) to ensure reliable water service. Installed between 1984 and 1986, the aging watermain is nearing the end of its service life and has experienced multiple emergency repairs since 2015, resulting in significant disruptions. This project aims to upgrade the infrastructure to meet modern service standards, prevent future disruptions, and ensure water pressure requirements are fulfilled. Construction will be coordinated with York Region’s resurfacing project on the same corridor to minimize disruptions.
Main steps:
- Pre-design investigations and coordination with stakeholders.
- Detailed design and tendering.
- Construction phase with inspection and quality control.
- Post-construction and warranty support.
