In 2017, the city water department contracted Tata & Howard to do an analysis and produce a report that examined our aging water infrastructure. Since then, the City has been implementing that water main replacement plan. Due to limited money we can only do limited number of miles of water mains and the disrupted roadway per year. So far we have done Steere St and two different parts of Read Street. Future plans include Bishop Street, Lindsay Street and more. We are also doing Commonwealth Avenue under the highway, Deanville Road under the highway, Franklin Street, Roy Ave under the river, the lining of Elmwood Ave, Lonsdale Ave and Park Place. To replace all of the city's waterlines all at the same time would cost about $150 million. We obviously cannot do that. So we are implementing the Tata & Howard plan one street at a time.
