Water Reservoir Project

On Monday, April 23, 2018, the Town of St. Marys will start the nine-month process of building a new, 1600 cubic metre in-ground water storage reservoir at 55 St. George Street North.

The project is being undertaken to ensure that St. Marys has enough treated, stored and available water to maintain system operation during periods of high usage, such as fires and other emergencies.

Construction on the reservoir is expected to last approximately nine months. During this time, residents can expect increased truck traffic on the following route: St. George Street North to Timms Lane to James Street North to Queen Street East.

The project is expected to be complete by January 31, 2019. The Town will begin a planned reconstruction of St. George Street North later that year.
