The City of
Calgary, Water Services has an upcoming utility project in your area. This project is a continuation of the work
completed last year. Over the next
several months, The City will be improving the water supply system by
installing a new water feeder-main pipe. This project is entitled the East
McKenzie Feeder-main Project and the work will occur between late April and July
2013. The work area will include the eastern portion of 126th Avenue
SE and will cross 52nd Street SE.
The attached map outlines the work area.
The purpose of the
East McKenzie Feeder-main Project is to reinforce the existing water
infrastructure in the southeast and provide additional supply to the commercial
businesses in the area of 130th Avenue SE, and the residential neighborhoods of New Brighton, Copperfield, Mahogany, and
Auburn Bay. In addition, this infrastructure will support future growth in the
southeast quadrant of the City.
The
construction of the project will result in the following:
·
There will be a detour on 52nd
street. However, traffic movement on 52nd street will be maintained,
with one lane for each direction.
·
126th avenue will not
be accessible, from 52nd street SE. Residents may access 126th
avenue via 130th avenue and 48th street SE. Detour signs
will be posted.
·
We do not anticipate any
interruptions to water or sanitary services.
All
adjacent businesses will be provided with notices of where/when the work will
take place and whether a service disruption is forthcoming. Construction is
anticipated to begin in late April and continue through late July 2013.
