Details
The City of Winnipeg is changing the existing combined sewer system in order to alleviate basement flooding and reduce the number of combined sewer overflows in the Seven Oaks area.
The Jefferson East Combined Sewer Relief and Combined Sewer Overflow Abatement Study was completed in 2009. The study determined that the current level of service (LOS) for the district's combined sewer capacity was below the five year return period design storm.
Construction of new land drainage sewers (LDS) in the Jefferson East combined sewer district will convey wet weather runoff in a new land drainage system, improving the LOS. The proposed sewer separation works will be carried out over a number of years requiring a total of 13 contracts within the Seven Oaks area.
Construction of combined sewer overflow and basement flood relief works in the Jefferson East combined sewer district commenced in September 2012 with Contract 1. To date, six contracts have been completed with a total committed investment of $38.4 Million. Seven more construction contracts are still required to complete the Jefferson East sewer separation works. Residents who are directly impacted by current combined sewer separation projects should receive a Water and Waste Notice. Details of the current contracts are as follows:
