Quaker Road Sanitary Sewer
All Niagara Region projects

About the project

The most recent 2016 Wastewater Master Servicing Plan found Pelham as an area of significant growth. To support existing and future flows and system connectivity associated with growth, more trunk sewer capacity is recommended along Quaker Road.

The Welland Wastewater Treatment Plant at 505 River Rd. in Welland receives influent wastewater, mainly from domestic sewage, hauled sewage and discharge from local industries in sections of Welland, Thorold and Pelham.

This design assignment is for a detailed engineering design of a new 600 millimetre sanitary gravity sewer on Quaker Road from Pelham Street to Rice Road.

The project runs just over 1.2 kilometres at the intersection of Rice Road and Quaker Road, moving west.

The following improvements will be included as part of this project:

Welland

Replacement and realignment to parts of the local sanitary sewer (areas impacted by the installation of the trunk sewer)
Watermain replacement

Pelham

Local sanitary sewer replacement, which will also service new developments along the corridor
Watermain replacement
Corridor urbanization including storm sewers, curb and gutter, sidewalks and bike lanes
