Contribution: Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund

City of Prince Rupert | Ville de Prince Rupert

$77,200,000.00

Prince Rupert Watermain and Sewer Line Upgrades Project

FY 2024-25 · 2024-08-27

Summary
The City of Prince Rupert’s water distribution and sewer collection infrastructure is failing at an increasing, exponential rate. The City has identified 26 km of high priority watermains that require immediate replacement to mitigate the risk of a complete failure of the water system, and would have severe impacts to residents, businesses, essential services like hospitals and the first responders, and international businesses that facilitate trade through the Port of Prince Rupert. Similarly, along these corridors, the City will implement a sewer separation and replacement program for its failing combined sewer system, which is of a similar age and state of failure as its water distribution network.

Description (French)
Les infrastructures de distribution d’eau et de collecte des eaux usées de la ville de Prince Rupert sont en train de tomber en panne à un rythme exponentiel. La ville a identifié 26 km de conduites principales d’eau hautement prioritaires qui doivent être remplacées immédiatement pour atténuer le risque d’une défaillance complète du réseau d’eau. Une telle défaillance occasionnerait de graves répercussions sur les résidents, les entreprises, les services essentiels comme les hôpitaux et les premiers intervenants, ainsi que sur les entreprises internationales qui facilitent le commerce par le port de Prince Rupert. De même, le long de ces corridors, la ville mettra en œuvre un programme de séparation et de remplacement des égouts pour son réseau d’égouts unitaires défaillant, qui est du même âge et du même état de défaillance que son réseau de distribution d’eau.
