Water, Sanitary And Storm Sewer Renewal And Street Reconstruction

The City of Saint John will be undertaking the renewal of watermain and sanitary sewer, installation of a new storm sewer and full street reconstruction in the upcoming 2026 construction season.  The purpose of this project is to renew infrastructure that is nearing the end of its useful life.

The construction activities will include:

• Renewal of the existing watermain and sanitary sewer, and installation of a new storm sewer for separation.

• Full street reconstruction including new concrete curb and sidewalk, roadway gravels, asphalt, grass median and trees.

• There will be traffic disruptions during the project; however, construction crews and associated traffic controls will be present.  Partial and full street closures are expected and as much as possible, local traffic will be permitted. Signed detours will be established.

This project is part of the City’s on-going commitment to continually improving its infrastructure. 

Funding is included in the City of Saint John’s approved 2025 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund and General Fund Capital Programs.

The project is anticipated to begin in June and is expected to be completed by end of October 2026. 

Representatives from the City of Saint John will be available to answer questions related to the project.  The public is invited to drop in anytime during the following period to attend an information session for this project:
