March 5, 2025 - Construction of the sanitary main will start at the intersection of 56 Street and 16 Avenue during the week of March 3rd. The west side of 56 Street and 16 Avenue will be closed during the works within the intersection. Please follow the detour signs.
Background
The existing 450mm diameter asbestos cement sanitary sewer main on 56 Street was installed in the 1960s and services approximately 5,600 properties. It has reached the end of its service life and available capacity.
We understand the challenges that replacing large infrastructure can have on the community with noise, traffic and service impacts. In designing the new sewer main the City ensured that the pipe would have an extended service life and also account for long term community growth. As such, this project is included in the Development Cost Charge program to ensure costs attributed to growth are paid for through development levies.
The new pipe being installed will be a 675 mm diameter PVC sewer main that will have approximately three times the capacity of the current sewer and be able to meet the future needs of Tsawwassen, which is forecast to have growth of an additional 4,800 new homes by 2051 as noted in the OCP.
About the Project
The City of Delta will be installing a new PVC sanitary main along 56 Street from 16 Avenue to View Crescent, along View Crescent, and back along 56 Street from View Crescent to 12 Avenue. The work is scheduled to begin in February 2025 with an estimated completion date by Summer 2025. The new sewer main has been designed to accommodate future growth in Tsawwassen.
Archaeology
Some sections of the new sanitary main alignment are within a known archaeological site. Construction may progress at a reduced rate to ensure the requirements set by the BC Archaeology Branch and the First Nations are being properly followed. Archaeologists and First Nations representatives will be present on-site to monitor, investigate, and inspect the sanitary main installation.
Impact to Residents
Access for residents and businesses will be maintained at all times. With work of this nature, some inconvenience will be unavoidable. We ask for your patience and cooperation during construction.
Traffic
The majority of the construction activity along 56 Street will be completed during the night to reduce traffic impacts on residents and businesses. Two-way traffic and access to driveways will be maintained at all times and when safe to do so.
