Victoria Avenue Sewage Pumping Station and Forcemain Upgrades
All Niagara Region projects

About the project

The Victoria Avenue Sewage Pumping Station is owned and run by Niagara Region and is located at 3450 QEW South Service Rd. in Lincoln. It services an area of about 495 hectares for nearby residents and businesses.

The station was built in 1978 and underwent significant upgrades in 2014. A capacity upgrade is now needed to support local growth. During the 2014 upgrade, 1.8 kilometres of forcemain was replaced to meet the current demand. The remaining 3.8 kilometres now need replacement.

Construction will include a 3.8 kilometre long forcemain replacement along the QEW South Service Road. This will run from near Maple Grove Road to Bartlett Road.

The scope of work includes:

• 3.8 kilometres of new forcemain
• Creekbank gabion wall repairs
• A new linear hydrogen sulphide monitor
• A new overflow monitoring device

Project update

Construction of the new sewage pumping station and sanitary forcemain will begin in July 2026 and continue through winter 2026. Work along the forcemain route will affect traffic during construction. Lane closures and delays are expected. Portable temporary traffic signals will be used to manage traffic. To help reduce disruptions, construction will be completed in sections.

This work supports local growth and development. For details on Town of Lincoln's Prudhommes Landing development, see Prudhommes Watermain Upgrades Project.

Project updates will be shared with stakeholders and the public online and by mail.

Construction information

• Construction duration

  Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2026 and continue into winter 2026.

• Service interruptions to water, wastewater or power and gas supply

  No service interruptions are planned. If service interruptions are needed, we will notify affected parties at least 48 hours in advance.

• Access to homes or businesses during construction

  There will be access to homes and businesses along the roadway. At times, construction may block driveways for a short period. Residents will be notified of this in advance and accommodations can be arranged as needed. If you have any concerns about not having access during construction, contact the project team.

• Walking through the construction site

  The public can pass through the area but it is recommended to reduce any non-essential activities in the construction area. Use extra caution when entering the area, read and obey all warning signs, avoid heavy equipment and stay visible to all workers and vehicles.

• Garbage and recycling collection during construction

  There will be no changes to garbage, recycling and organics collection during construction. If needed, the contractor will carry bins to a more accessible location and return once emptied. Residents should label their bins to ensure they are not misplaced.
