The City has undertaken the Project to provide sanitary servicing for the future development
areas within the Rosenberg community of southwest Kitchener, this includes lands for the future
Kitchener Public Library branch. The Project consists of the installation of sewer pipe, 375
millimetres (mm) to 750 mm in diameter, from the north end of the Huron Village Subdivision up
to Bleams Road, approximately two kilometers in length. Installation includes related
appurtenances and connection to the existing portion of the MSTSS previously constructed in
2008-2009. Much of the proposed sewer line will be constructed by conventional method of open
cut excavation. A portion of the proposed sewer will be installed by trenchless technology
method (i.e., micro-tunneling) within wooded and environmentally significant areas.
It is expected that the construction component will begin on or about May 18, 2020 and be
complete in spring of 2021. The construction contract will be set at 290 working days.
