Details
The City of Winnipeg Water and Waste Department has identified that changes to the existing combined sewer system are required to alleviate basement flooding and reduce the number of combined sewer overflows in the St James area.
The Ferry Road and Riverbend Combined Sewer Relief Works Conceptual Design Report and Study was completed in 2009. The study determined that the current level of service (LOS) for the district's combined sewer capacity is lower than a five year return period design storm.
Construction of new land drainage sewers (LDS) in the Ferry Road and Riverbend combined sewer district will convey wet weather runoff freeing up capacity in the existing sewers and improving the LOS. The proposed sewer separation works will be carried out over a number of years within the St. James area requiring 22 contracts due to the large scale of the work. The number of total contracts may vary depending on the scope of work.
Construction of combined sewer overflow and basement flood relief works in the Ferry Road and Riverbend combined sewer district commenced in August 2013 with Contract 1. To date, Contracts 1-4, 5 West, 5 East - Stage 1, 5 East - Stage 2 and 5 East - Stage 3 have been completed at an investment of $27 Million. 14 more construction contracts are still required to complete the Ferry Road and Riverbend sewer separation works.
