About the project
The City is replacing aging infrastructure that has met its expected lifecycle, which involves removing existing combined sewers along York Street. In addition to helping improve the health of the Thames River, this work is necessary to support a growing population by increasing sewer capacity for intensification and development. Utility upgrades is another key project component, ensuring continued operation and reliability of our hydro, energy and communications systems.
