News Release
Residents of the east side may notice that there have been crews working the past few weeks on utility investigations, which will be continuing on various streets over the coming 2 weeks. Crews are currently conducting investigative works for the "BIG" project to replace water and sewer lines, prior to conducting fulsome designs for these critical replacement areas.
The following are current scheduled impacts, where crews will be doing hydro-vac excavations and geo-technical drilling. These are minor works that will not include major digging - which will come following infrastructure design. Design is anticipated to take 2+ months.
For more information on this BIG project to renew our water and sewer lines, as well as the roads above, head to: https://engage.princerupert.ca/big
