Beginning in July, the City of New Westminster will be commencing construction for the 2020 Kelvin Heights Sewer Separation and Waterworks Program. The combined sewer separation project will see the installation of new storm sewers which will divert approximately 30% of the catchment’s storm flows from the combined sewers. The project will reduce the discharge of combined sewer overflows into the Fraser River by diverting significant amounts of storm water from combined sewers during rainfall events and providing improved storm water drainage that meets regional and federal requirements. The City’s contractor, Sandpiper Contracting, is scheduled to start on July 2, 2020 and expected to be completed by year-end, weather dependent.
