Construction set to begin on new in-ground water storage reservoir

The Town of St. Marys is moving forward with another important infrastructure project. On Monday, April 23, 2018, H2Ontario Inc. will start the 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.

A three-dimensional rendering of the water reservoir site is available on the Town website at http://www.townofstmarys.com/en/living-here/water-reservoir-project.aspx#. Questions about the project can be directed to Dave Blake, Environmental Services Supervisor at 519-284-2340, ext. 209 or dblake@town.stmarys.on.ca.
