Water Main Replacement and Maintenance
The replacement of Saskatoon's oldest water mains are prioritized every year to ensure continued water quality, better water flow, and decrease the number of water main breaks.
Water mains in good condition just need maintenance from time to time to extend the lifespan. This is a trenchless method where the water main is lined on the inside with plastic tubing.
25th Street Water Main Lining
It's important to note that 25th Street will remain open, with one lane of traffic maintained in each direction where possible, with delays expected throughout the duration of the project.
Phase I (2026)
Water main rehabilitation along 25th Street from 1st Avenue N to Spadina Crescent E and water main replacement on 4th Avenue N from 24th Street E to 25th Street E. These sections of roadway will be repaved following construction.
This project will be completed in four stages:
- Stage 1: Temporary water construction work will be starting the week of June 15 and is expected to take two weeks.
- Stage 2: Replacing the water main on 4th Avenue from 24th Street to 25th Street is expected to begin the week of June 29. This will close the intersection of 4th Avenue and 24th street for approximately three weeks.
- Stage 3: Installing a new storm sewer on 4th Avenue from 24th Street to 25th Street is expected to begin the week of July 13 with a tentative completion in mid-August.
- Stage 4: 25th Street water main rehabilitation work will begin the week of August 3 and last for approximately 12 weeks.
Phase II (2027)*
Construction along 24th Street E from 3rd Avenue N to Spadina Crescent. Construction timing and duration will be confirmed closer to the start of work in 2027.
*Timing and staging subject to change as work progresses.
