Our water main is getting an upgrade.
This work replaces critical infrastructure and makes it easier for people of all ages to walk, roll, bike, drive and take the bus.
To be cost-effective, we look to integrate belowground infrastructure upgrades with aboveground road safety improvements where possible.
