Watermain Lining Work in Churchill Square Area

A map of the Churchill Square area showing streets where watermain rehab will occur. Streets scheduled for this year are showing in red, and streets completed last year are in yellow.

Watermain rehabilitation work that began in summer 2022 in the Churchill Square area is scheduled to resume on April 24, and will be completed by August 2023.

This project involves cleaning and structural lining of the existing watermains. It will reduce maintenance issues, improve water service, and extend the life of existing watermains.

Businesses and homes in the project area will receive water through a temporary above ground water piping system installed along the street while work is being completed. Residents and business owners will be notified directly by the contractor if their property is included in the project area, prior to start of construction. A map of the project area is available.

The City will require access to properties to facilitate connection of the temporary water service and to facilitate watermain rehabilitation work.

Traffic Update

Two-way traffic and access for people walking and wheeling will be maintained where possible, but delays are to be expected. Every effort will be made by the contractor to maintain driveway access to properties within the work site.

To stay informed, residents can sign up for road and traffic construction notifications. Also, Access St. John’s is available to residents 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by calling 311 or 709-754-CITY (2489), by email at access@stjohns.ca or using the St. John's 311 app.
