The existing secondary water line, which dates back to the 1940s and 1950s, must be rebuilt to ensure an efficient and continuous supply of drinking water to the area. Additionally, in accordance with the action plan to eliminate lead, lead water service lines will be replaced with copper ones. 

The city is taking this opportunity to incorporate additional repairs into this project in order to ensure the long-term durability of the area’s sewer system, which dates back to the early 1950s. 

The borough is also part of this project to improve pedestrian safety and enhance the pedestrian experience by reducing the width of the roadway and widening sidewalks. In addition, landscaped curb extensions will be built at the southern intersection of Rue Crevier and Rue Rochon.  

These investments contribute to Montréal’s growth and development, help alleviate the problem of declining road infrastructure, and improve the overall condition of roadways through the use of better maintenance techniques, while factoring in road conditions and traffic constraints.

Installing a temporary system means that the supply of drinking water must be briefly interrupted for some buildings. A pamphlet specifying the date, time and all details about water outages will be distributed in advance to affected homes.

Traffic obstructions will be adjusted throughout the project. It is essential to comply with all signage. The map below shows planned detours at the start of the construction project.
