Octavia Street and Henry Street Reconstruction
Octavia Street (north of Catharine Street) and Henry Street (from Octavia Street to Murney Street) are being reconstructed.
The existing sewer along Octavia Street is a combined sewer (storm and sanitary in the same pipe) and it will be necessary to separate the two by constructing a new storm sewer and replacing the sanitary sewer.
Planned improvements:
- Installation of a new storm sewer main and catch basins
- Replacement of the existing sanitary sewer main and the existing sanitary services
- Replacement of the existing watermain and the existing water services
- Complete road reconstruction to an urban standard with new concrete curb and gutter, new concrete sidewalk, and new asphalt road surface
These upgrades will ensure safe, reliable municipal water and wastewater services and an efficient transportation system that addresses the needs of our residents and businesses.
