The City of Moose Jaw has released details surrounding Phase Four of the Water Main Replacement Program. Initiated in 2015, the Water Main Replacement Program is an estimated 20-year commitment from City Council to replace decades-old underground water main pipes across the City.
The City is set to begin the fourth phase of the Watermain Replacement program scheduled for completion in fall 2019. Residents impacted by the 2019 program can expect to receive notification over the next few weeks from City crews and/or the selected contractor. Areas have been selected for the 2019 program to address sections of pipe that have experienced a high number of watermain breaks in recent years. The 2019 program will include 1,600 m of water main replacement, with another 600m of water mains repaired using water main lining technology. Water main lining involves lining the walls of the existing pipe with a synthetic, resin-soaked tube that is hardened by a heating process using steam or hot water. Many of these water mains are approaching 100 years of age and are experiencing escalating rates of failure and maintenance costs. In addition, corrosion and tuberculation of these lines can cause turbidity (cloudy or red water), low pressure and lower than accepted chlorine residual levels required for disinfection. Water mains scheduled to be replaced with the 2019 program include: First Ave NE from Saskatchewan St NE to Caribou St NE – 635 m Third Ave NE from Athabasca St NE to Hochelaga St E – 86 m Main St N from Hochelaga St NE to Athabasca St NE- 102 m Athabasca St NE from Main St N to First Ave NE – 202 m Fairford St NE from Fifth Ave NE to Sixth Ave NE – 190 m Edmonton St NW from Eleventh Ave NW to Tenth Ave NW – 234 m Stadacona St NW from Twelfth Ave NW to Eleventh Ave NW – 240 m Additionally, water main lining technology will be utilized to repair pipes in the following locations: Elizabeth St. from 8th Avenue NW-9th Avenue NW Main St. N alley from Manitoba St. E-Fairford St. E The City of Moose Jaw will hold Open House information sessions for affected property owners in Council Chambers, 2nd floor of City Hall, on the following occasions: Thursday, May 23, 6:30-8:00 p.m. Thursday, June 6, 6:30-8:00 p.m.
