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:
Prospect Avenue Watermain Replacement
- Start of construction – May 2026
- End of construction – July 2026
Wilfred Avenue Reconstruction
- Start of construction – July 2026
- End of construction – October 2026
The specific improvements scheduled for this street are:
- Upgrade the existing storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water mains, including additional hydrants
- Upgrade existing storm sewer, sanitary sewer & water mains, including additional hydrants as required
- Replace existing sanitary and water services from the new mains to the property line
- Curb and gutter, and sidewalks will be installed
- Upgrade the asphalt roadway
- Replace all driveway ramp entrances in 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.
