Osprey Sanitary Replacement
**Certain roads and areas on the roads will be barricaded until summer of 2026 until further repairs and action can occur after the weather cycles. Accessibility to resident homes within the subdivision will be maintained during this time. **
Project Description:
As part of an overall wastewater rehabilitation program in Wabamun, a replacement of the water lines on 52 and 52A avenues and of all sanitary lines and manholes will be completed within the Osprey subdivision.
Scope of Work:
Water lines on 52A and 52 avenues as well as all sanitary main lines and manholes were replaced within the Osprey subdivision. Service laterals that are in good condition will be reconnected to the new main lines and service laterals that are in poor condition will be replaced to property line. Lines and manholes will be replaced using open cut trenching, therefore the road and minor locations within the sidewalks will be disturbed during construction and returned to existing upon completion.
*Residents might also experience some short term water shutdowns but will be notified accordingly. They will be set up on temporary water for the duration of construction to avoid any impacts. *
Schedule:
Est. Start date: July 2024 – December 2025 (May-July 2026 for seasonal deficiencies)
