Construction Update: Ellice Street from Clifton Street to Wychwood Crescent in Fenelon Falls returns
After construction was stopped due to a unseasonably high groundwater table in late June, the contractor has remobilized on Ellice Street and is back to work installing the watermain and water services. The contractor will ensure that the new watermain and services are installed and commissioned this fall.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, a Permit to Take Water (PTTW) from the Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks (MECP) is still required to install the sanitary sewer. We anticipate that this permit will be received by the end of September. Following completion of the watermain and water services, the contractor will make every effort to complete the installation of the remaining sanitary sewer and storm sewer this fall. Sewer replacement that is not complete will be scheduled in the spring of 2025.
There is a possibility that the final roadworks including concrete curb, sidewalk and asphalt will be delayed until the spring of 2025. If the final roadwork is not completed this fall, the road will be graded and temporary asphalt will be placed on the road to allow all residents safe access throughout the winter.
The municipality will issue another update in October to advise residents of the progress.
