    Sewer lining program (Wards 2, 7, 8, 15 & 23)

    Beginning in the fall of 2024, the City will begin preparation work for sewer rehabilitation in your area. The City will be using a trenchless technology called Non-Styrene Cured In Place Pipe to minimize the impact of construction. 

    What: The preparation work will involve cleaning and inspection of the sewer. The contractor will return at a later date to perform sewer rehabilitation using a Non-Styrene Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP) lining process. CIPP rehabilitation minimizes the impact of construction by repairing the existing sewer without having to dig. The CIPP method of construction is less disruptive and can be completed quicker than traditional construction techniques.

    Why: Sewer rehabilitation is required due to the age and condition of the existing infrastructure.

    When: Sewer cleaning and inspection work in preparation for rehabilitation is expected to begin in September. The preparation work is expected to take between one and three days to complete on each street. Please note this work is weather dependent. A subsequent notification letter will be distributed to your residence or business in advance of the start of sewer liner installation to provide further details.

    Where:

    Ward 2

    • West side of Stoneboat Crescent between Lumberway Way and 100m north of Lumberman Way.

    Ward 7

    • Cedar Lane Terrace between Melwood Avenue and Maplecrest Avenue, as well as on Maplecrest Avenue at Cedar Lane Terrace.

    Ward 8

    • Elmira Drive between Cobden Road and Lambeth Walk.
    • North side of Barnes Crescent from Harrison Street to 250 metres west of Harrison Street.

    Ward 15

    • Parkdale Avenue from Burnside Avenue to Lyndale Avenue. To accommodate the proposed construction, lane reductions and/or alternating traffic can be expected after 6 pm.

    Ward 23

    • Coburn Avenue from Carbrooke Street to 100 metres west of Carbrooke Street.

    Who: The City of Ottawa has retained the contractor, Clearwater Structures Inc., to complete the work.

    What is Non-Styrene Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP)?

    Non-Styrene Cured in place pipe (CIPP) is a sewer lining process where a styrene-free resin (glue like plastic) in a saturated tube is inserted into an existing pipe and inflated to take the shape of the existing pipe. Heat is then added to the inflated tube to cure (harden) the resin using hot water or steam. Once the resin has cured, a new seamless pipe has been installed in the sewer. The final step in the process is to cut holes in the newly installed CIPP liner to allow for flow from connected laterals to flow into the sewer. The use of styrene-free resin mitigates the odours emitted by standard styrenated resin during construction.

    Traffic management

    To accommodate the proposed construction, lane reductions and/or alternating traffic can be expected. Access to local businesses and private properties will be maintained throughout the construction period. Access for pedestrians and cyclists will be maintained.

    On-street parking and local access

    On-street parking restrictions will be needed to facilitate the work. Local access will be maintained to residents, business owners and emergency vehicles. In the event that access to your driveway will be impacted, you will receive 24-hours’ notice and be provided with a Temporary On-Street Parking Permit (orange form) to permit on-street parking within two blocks of your residence. Residents with electric vehicles will need to find alternative charging arrangements when access is restricted. The use of extension cords within the public right of way is not permitted.

    Should you have additional concerns about reduced access, such as business deliveries or accessibility requirements, please contact the project manager listed below.

    Construction disruptions

    The contractor will take every precaution to minimize interruptions to the normal life of your family and/or operation of your business, but as you can appreciate, there may be some inconvenience during construction, such as traffic delays, parking restrictions, and noise. We would like to thank you in advance for your patience and co-operation. For construction activity hours of work, the City of Ottawa follows provincial requirements and the City’s Noise By-law (2017-255).

    Sewer lining program (Wards 16 and 17)

    Beginning in the fall of 2024, the City will begin preparation work for sewer rehabilitation in your area. The City will be using a trenchless technology called PVC Fold and Form pipe lining to minimize the impact of construction. 

    What: The preparation work will involve cleaning and inspection of the sewer. The contractor will return at a later date to perform sewer rehabilitation using a PVC Fold and Form pipe lining process. Rehabilitation using PVC Fold and Form pipe liners minimizes the impact of construction by repairing the existing sewer without having to dig. The PVC Fold and Form pipe lining method of construction is less disruptive and can be completed quicker than traditional construction techniques.

    Why: Sewer rehabilitation is required due to the age and condition of the existing infrastructure.

    When: Sewer cleaning and inspection work in preparation for rehabilitation is expected to begin in September. The preparation work is expected to take between one and three days to complete on each street. Please note this work is weather dependent. A subsequent notification letter will be distributed to your residence or business in advance of the start of sewer liner installation to provide further details.

    Where:

    Ward 16

    • Anna Avenue from Admiral Avenue to 120 metres west of Admiral Avenue. Pedestrian detours can be expected.

    Ward 17

    • Clover Street between Brookfield Road East and Gregg Street.
    • Kaladar Avenue between Brookfield Road East and Dartmouth Avenue.

    Who: The City of Ottawa has retained the contractor, Clearwater Structures Inc., to complete the work.

    What is PVC Fold and Form Pipe Lining?

    PVC Fold & Form pipe lining is a sewer lining process where a folded PVC liner is inserted into an existing pipe and then formed to the shape of the existing pipe using heat. Once the liner has cooled, a new seamless pipe has been installed in the sewer. The final step in the process is to cut holes in the newly installed liner to allow for flow from connected laterals to flow into the sewer.

    Traffic management

    To accommodate the proposed construction, lane reductions and/or alternating traffic can be expected. Access to local businesses and private properties will be maintained throughout the construction period. Access for pedestrians and cyclists will be maintained. 

    On-street parking and local access

    On-street parking restrictions will be needed to facilitate the work. Local access will be maintained to residents, business owners and emergency vehicles. In the event that access to your driveway will be impacted, you will receive 24-hours’ notice and be provided with a Temporary On-Street Parking Permit (orange form) to permit on-street parking within two blocks of your residence. Residents with electric vehicles will need to find alternative charging arrangements when access is restricted. The use of extension cords within the public right of way is not permitted.

    Should you have additional concerns about reduced access, such as business deliveries or accessibility requirements, please contact the project manager listed below.  

    Construction disruptions

    The contractor will take every precaution to minimize interruptions to the normal life of your family and/or operation of your business, but as you can appreciate, there may be some inconvenience during construction, such as traffic delays, parking restrictions, and noise. We would like to thank you in advance for your patience and co-operation. For construction activity hours of work, the City of Ottawa follows provincial requirements and the City’s Noise By-law (2017-255).
