New pipes are currently added under Boulevard de Pierrefonds and Boulevard Jacques-Bizard in order to secure the area’s drinking water supply. This project is the continuation of the construction work carried out on Boulevard de Pierrefonds between Rue Riva-Bella and Rue Sainte-Anne in 2021 and 2022

This project aims to secure the drinking water supply in Dollard-des-Ormeaux and L’île-Bizard.

The replacement of valves in the water distribution system will also improve the reliability of drinking water management in Pierrefonds-Roxboro borough.
