Starting this winter, Halton Region will be upgrading the wastewater sewer system and maintenance holes on several local streets to maintain the wastewater infrastructure and reduce the risk of basement flooding. It is part of the Region’s infrastructure construction plan for roads, water, wastewater, and waste management projects across Halton.
The streets affected in Burlington include:
- Beaver Street, between First Street and Lakeshore Road — see map PR-3042O Notice of Construction (Beaver Street) Word LetterMapFinalPDF (002);
- South Service Road, at Fraser Drive — see map PR-3042O Notice of Construction (South Service Road) LetterMapFinalPDF;

The contractor for all the projects is Atlantis Underground Services Inc., with project administration by Halton Region. Construction is expected to be completed by this summer.
Utilities, such as Union Gas, Hydro and Bell Canada, have already started to locate and mark out their existing infrastructure to prepare for this construction. Please do not remove these marker stakes or paint markings. The Region’s staff will come back to remove them once the project is complete.
