As part of the City of Kitchener’s ongoing efforts to provide consistent and reliable service, we have scheduled a watermain replacement in your neighbourhood. Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2026, with an estimated completion date of fall 2026. This is the proposed schedule:

Farrier Place

  • Start of construction – April 2026
  • End of construction – July 2026

Upper Canada Drive and Farrier Drive

  • Start of construction – July 2026
  • End of construction – November 2026

The specific improvements scheduled for this street are:

  • Upgrade the existing storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water mains, including additional hydrants as required
  • Replace existing sanitary and water services from the new mains to the property line
  • Curb, gutter and sidewalks will be installed
  • Upgrade the asphalt roadway
  • Replace all driveway ramp entrances to be concrete
  • Install and/or replace retaining walls

These improvements are being done to upgrade the existing, deteriorated underground services and above-ground surface features. This is necessary to prevent future system failure. The project will be funded through utility user fees and will not result in a direct charge to the homeowner.
