Uplands Sewer Separation Project - Humber Catchment
Welcome to the project page for the Uplands Sewer Separation project in the Humber Catchment. This page provide project information and updates on the progress of the project.
Where we are today
Installation of the storm drain services laterals on Beach Drive between Ripon Road and Cadboro Bay Road and the installation of the water main on Exeter Road are delayed due to the availability of a crew. These areas are still active construction zones.
The outfall structures on Ripon Road and Humber Road are underway. The storm main installation on Ripon Road will continue from Beach Drive and will head south.
This is what is happening over the next month:
September 2024
- Installation of the storm drain main on Ripon Road followed by service lateral connections and catch basins.
- Work on the storm water outfall on Humber Road.
Construction Impacts
All work will be within the road right-of-way. Typical hours of work expected are from Monday to Friday between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
- Traffic control services and signage will be implemented to assist residents, pedestrians, cyclists, and local traffic to homes and businesses. Traffic control is in place for the safety of everyone and is to be obeyed.
- Local access will be maintained throughout the project.
- Single lane alternating traffic is expected on Beach Drive, but full road closures can be expected.
- Delays along Beach Drive with traffic detoured using Lansdowne Road.
- The gravel area at Cattle Point will be closed to the public.
There is potential for driveways to be inaccessible for short periods of time. The contractor will notify residents in advance and will accommodate any special access requirements. Waste collection services, recycling, Canada Post and other delivery / pickup services will not be impeded. BC Transit stops have the potential to be relocated or closed, please refer to the BC Transit website for updates.
Residents can expect an increase in noise, dust, street parking, and the movement of construction vehicles. The breaking of bedrock for the installation of the storm and water main is necessary, and residents should be aware that the removal will take time and will generate noise.
Disturbance to water or sewer services is not expected. Residents will be notified a minimum 24 hours of any planned disruption.
