The sanitary sewer between Austin Avenue and Rochester Avenue is being upgraded over three years and will be completed in three phases. The new sewer will replace the existing, old sewer with a larger sewer to serve the increasing population in the area.
The second phase of the Austin Heights sewer upgrade was completed in 2024.
Phase 3 – Summer/Fall 2025
The City has awarded a contract to Complete Utility Contractors to construct the final phase of the Austin Heights sewer upgrades.
This phase of the new sewer main installation will take place within the City’s right of way between Charland Avenue and Austin Avenue and continue west to just east of Gatensbury Street.
Besides installation of a new sanitary sewer main, the scope of work includes new manholes and new service connections, followed by restoration work.
Construction began in late June 2025 and will take approximately four months to complete (weather dependent).
