Fredericton Northeast Growth Area Water System Extension

FY 2025-26 · 2025-12-04

Summary
The Fredericton Northeast Growth Area Water System Extension Project in Fredericton, New Brunswick aims to provide essential water and sewer infrastructure for the immediate development of the Northeast Growth Area. This area will include a variety of residential developments, such as single detached dwellings, various forms of missing middle housing, and apartments from 4-8 floors. The project addresses the need for housing and infrastructure by constructing a water reservoir, a water booster station, linear water, sewer, and municipal infrastructure, and extending public water service to Sitansisk First Nation property. This project will enable approximately 4,000 new units, with an additional 900 units unlocked by the water booster station. A significant barrier is the necessity of the water reservoir for fire protection and ongoing construction, without which development cannot proceed. The expected outcomes include immediate viability for existing development potential, creation of new residential and institutional development opportunities, and enhanced connectivity to Sitansisk First Nation, fostering growth within this community.

Description (French)
Le projet de prolongement du réseau d'eau de la zone de développement nord-est de Fredericton, au Nouveau-Brunswick, vise à fournir les infrastructures d'eau et d'égout essentielles au développement immédiat de la zone de développement nord-est. Cette zone comprendra une variété de développements résidentiels, tels que des maisons unifamiliales, diverses formes de logements intermédiaires manquants et des appartements de 4 à 8 étages. Le projet répond au besoin de logements et d'infrastructures en construisant un réservoir d'eau, une station de pompage d'eau, des infrastructures linéaires d'eau, d'égout et municipales, et en étendant le service public d'eau à la propriété de la Première nation Sitansisk. Ce projet permettra la construction d'environ 4 000 nouveaux logements, auxquels s'ajouteront 900 logements supplémentaires grâce à la station de pompage. La nécessité de disposer d'un réservoir d'eau pour la protection contre les incendies et la construction en cours, sans lequel le développement ne peut avoir lieu, constitue un obstacle important. Les résultats attendus sont la viabilité immédiate du potentiel de développement existant, la création de nouvelles opportunités de développement résidentiel et institutionnel, et l'amélioration de la connectivité avec la Première nation Sitansisk, favorisant ainsi la croissance au sein de cette communauté.
