Project overview
Project description
The City of Ottawa is undertaking the design and construction planning to rehabilitate the following three (3) existing sanitary pumping stations (SPS):
- Cumberland SPS 2, 361 Roxdale Avenue, Ward 1, built in 1982
- Cumberland SPS 3,1571 St Georges Street, Ward 1, built in 1978
- Cumberland SPS 4, 327 Du Grand Bois Avenue, Ward 19, built in 1986
The main objective is to improve the reliability of operation for these SPSs by replacing equipment that has reached the end of their life expectancy, improving City Operations’ staff ability to safely and efficiently operate and maintain them and reduce station down time during failures or extreme weather conditions.
The locations of the pumping stations are shown in the images below:
Cumberland SPS 2
Cumberland SPS 3
Cumberland SPS 4
The planned work includes:
- Replacement of equipment and components that have reached the end of their useful life.
- Required rehabilitation and upgrades of these stations’ wet wells and access safety components.
- Upgrades of electrical, controls and communication elements to the current City standards.
- Installation of new underground bypass chambers at Cumberland SPS 2 and Cumberland SPS 4
Notice to residents will be sent out to advise of works prior to commencement.
The City makes every effort to minimize the impacts of construction on the community. Work will be implemented in sequence – one station at a time. It is expected that there will not be any interruption to the service for the duration of this project. Traffic will be impacted when the temporary bypass piping system is being installed and tested. Access for pedestrians and cyclists will be maintained.
