Cathodic Protection of Watermains
Carling Avenue - from Melrose Avenue to Merivale Road and Sherbourne Road - from Knightsbridge Road to Byron Avenue
Contract No. CP000271
CONSTRUCTION NOTICE
October 2018
Dear Resident,
In late October, the City of Ottawa will begin construction works in your neighbourhood. This work is being conducted to increase design life of watermain pipes in your community.
Who: The Contractor, Clean Water Works, will be performing the construction work for the City of Ottawa.
Why: In order to increase longevity of existing infrastructure, the City of Ottawa will be proceeding with the installation of anodes along watermain pipes to reduce corrosion.
What: Cathodic protection of watermains will be done by installing anodes at a specified interval. Work will involve removal of existing asphalt roadway and excavation to expose the top of watermain pipe. Excavation works will require the use of a Hydro excavator (Vacuum truck), to reduce the risk of damaging existing underground utilities. Reinstatements will follow once anodes have been welded to the pipe. Please note this is a mobile operation. During the construction, there may be temporary lane reductions during off peak hours and parking restrictions in the vicinity of the work to take place.
When: This work is planned to begin in late October. Completion is anticipated by end of November.
