North Bay, ON – June 1, 2021 – Installation of a new sewage pumping station and sanitary sewer on Wallace Road is expected to begin June 14.
The work involves the construction of a new sewage pumping station adjacent to Optimist Park on Wallace Road and the installation a new sanitary sewer that will run from the location of the existing pumping station, across from Bavarian Meat Products, to the new site. A new forcemain will also be installed, which will run to from the new pumping station to a sanitary sewer outlet at the intersection of Wallace and Lake Heights roads.
Wallace Road will be reduced to one lane between Commerce Court and Lake Heights Road using temporary traffic control lights for an extended period during construction.
The $2.7-million project will be completed over two construction seasons with the installation of the sanitary sewer and forcemain, as well as road reconstruction slated for 2021. The remainder of the project will be completed in 2022, with the new pumping station to be commissioned and the old pumping station to be removed in June of 2022.
The contractor will make every effort to limit the extent of noise and disruptions during this project. The City of North Bay thanks residents for their patience while this important infrastructure work is completed.
