Kelligrews waterline fix will let crews fix breaks faster

By Craig Westcott

Eric Taylor Limited has been hired to fix some watermain issues on Dominion Place off Red Bridge Road in Kelligrews.

“We have a situation in that area where the watermain for Dominion Place is connected to the parallel at Kelliview Crescent,” said councillor-at-large Joshua Barrett. “That particular watermain goes through some residential properties, and it is a bit inaccessible to operate on.”

Barrett said the proposed solution is to extend the waterline on Dominion Place to Red Bridge Road.

“What this does, it improves our system and improves circulation, but it also allows us to isolate incidents more effectively,” Barrett explained. “That means that if there is a particular issue on Dominion Place, then Kelliview Crescent isn’t affected. So, it doesn’t necessarily expand servicing, but it makes their servicing more efficient and hopefully we’ll be able to isolate certain water breaks (more easily) in the future.”

CBS council is paying $125,650, plus HST, for the work.
