About The Project
THE CITY of Toronto, with support from the Government of Canada, is making a significant
investment in stormwater infrastructure to protect the Fairbank-Silverthorn community from basement and surface flooding. The project will construct a three-kilometre long and 4.5-metre diameter storm trunk sewer, 17-km length of storm collector sewers and install 325 inlet control devices to control stormwater going to catch basins. When construction is complete, the new infrastructure will help to reduce sewer backups and basement flooding for more than 4,645 homes and provide flood protection to a 140-hectare area.
The first major contract to construct the storm trunk sewer and some storm collector sewers is underway. Construction is 60 per cent complete. All 20 shafts are now constructed and microtunneling is 90 per cent complete.
