Key Projects

As the system ages, it is necessary to renew and replace capital assets to ensure uninterrupted service to our rate payers. Clearbrook Waterworks invests funds received through renewal fees and development charges back into the system. System renewal is ongoing and there is always a new project on the horizon.

Projects

Well Preventative Maintenance Program

With 4 new production wells constructed since 2011, we are focused on asset management in order to maximize the lifespan of our new wells. This includes a program of cleaning and inspection for each well, every 4-5 years. This program is designed and overseen by our hydrogeologist, Dr. Ineke Kalwij.

Reservoir Replacement Project

In 2021/22, we replaced an aging reservoir with a new, state of the art, 1.3 million gallon reservoir. The construction of this reservoir ensures that we will not need to replace it for 100 years! Reservoir C is slated for replacement in 2035 and we intend to construct that one to twin the reservoir that we just built.”

Water Main Replacement Projects

Each year, a large focus is placed on water main replacement. Over the past few years, we have upgraded several kilometers of water main and this includes looping dead ends to improve flow rates and water quality. We are replacing aging, at-risk pipe with newer, longer lasting and more resilient pipe and in most cases, we are increasing the size of the water mains in order to keep up with the demand of our growing District. The past couple of years have seen our own field crew installing new water mains in the Royal and Conrad area.
