Falling under both short term and long term plans, the Engineering Department conducts replacement/rehabilitation programs for the Town’s infrastructure, annually focusing on pavement renewal and watermain replacement programs.

ROADS In 2004, the Town retained the services of a consultant to survey the condition of the Town’s road inventory. The study produced a recommended 20 year schedule for pavement renewal as well as methods of rehabilitation.




WATER Over 50% of the Town’s watermains, representing approximately 18 kms of pipe, are constructed of asbestos cement.  Asbestos cement pipe was a popular pipe material in the 1960s and 1970s and used extensively across North America.

The use of asbestos cement pipe has been well studied and documented with regards to health and is not considered a health risk; however, it is prone to breakage.  Due to the high leakage and failure rate the Town is taking a proactive approach to replacing all its’ asbestos cement watermains in combination with the pavement renewal program.
