YARMOUTH, N.S. —
Work is set to begin to replace a 100-year-old combined sewer system with separate storm and sanitary services in the Town of Yarmouth.
This is a green project that will see rainwater separated from sewer, reducing the load on the town’s wastewater treatment plant.
The work will take place in two phases. Phase 1 will affect Glebe Street from top to bottom, as well as areas on Main, Water, and Parade Streets that intersect with Glebe.
Glebe Street runs alongside the Yarmouth town hall between Main and Water streets.
Phase 2 will be a similar project on Parade Street, scheduled for spring of 2021.
"This is a major infrastructure project involving the full excavation of Glebe Street," says the town in a media release. "This work will take a number of weeks to complete and will involve significant disruptions, closures, and detours for vehicle and pedestrian traffic in the area. Water services will also be affected, but temporary water will be set up by the contractor as needed."
Work will begin on Wednesday, June 3, with two exploratory digs on Main Street. Detours will be in place as needed for these digs, so the town says to expect minor delays.
In coming weeks, work will take place at the outfall at the water's edge, proceed to Water Street, then up Glebe Street and across Main Street to Parade Street.
Frequent updates and more information will follow from the town as the work plans unfold.
