FY 2025-26 · 2025-10-27
Summary
The Petrolia Watermain Upgrade project in Petrolia, Ontario addresses critical housing and infrastructure needs. This capital project involves replacing the existing 200mm watermain with a 300mm watermain on Petrolia Line from east of Bear Creek to Oil Heritage Road, then south down Oil Heritage Road. The new watermain will extend to the future development entrance on Oil Heritage Road, enabling the construction of five residential developments. The project includes removing and replacing approximately 2,025 metres of watermain, supporting the development of 1,032 new housing units. This will increase Petrolia's housing supply by 40%, including a mix of single and multi-residential units. The upgrade will reduce watermain breaks, benefitting 542 existing properties and future developments. Additionally, it will increase fire flow by 346%, improving emergency response times. The outcome will be enhanced housing availability, increased affordability, supporting the town's growth, and attracting new commercial and industrial developments.

Description (French)
Le projet d'amélioration de la canalisation principale de Petrolia, en Ontario, répond à des besoins essentiels en matière de logement et d'infrastructure. Ce projet d'investissement consiste à remplacer la canalisation principale existante de 200 mm par une conduite principale de 300 mm sur Petrolia Line, de l'est de Bear Creek jusqu'à la Oil Heritage Road, puis vers le sud le long d'Oil Heritage Road. La nouvelle canalisation principale s'étendra jusqu'à l'entrée du développement futur sur la Oil Heritage Road, ce qui permettra la construction de cinq développements résidentiels. Le projet comprend l'enlèvement et le remplacement d'environ 2 025 mètres de canalisations principales, ce qui permettra la construction de 1 032 nouvelles unités de logement. Cela permettra d'augmenter de 40 % l'offre de logements à Petrolia, y compris un mélange d’habitations unifamiliales ou multifamiliales. La modernisation réduira le nombre de ruptures de conduites principales, ce qui profitera à 542 propriétés existantes et aux développements futurs. En outre, elle augmentera le débit d'incendie de 346 %, ce qui améliorera les délais d'intervention des services d'urgence. Il en résultera une plus grande disponibilité de logements, plus abordables, qui soutiendront la croissance de la ville et attireront de nouveaux développements commerciaux et industriels.
