Saunderson Pressure Reducing Station-October 2025

Introduction:

The Municipality is preparing to complete deep utility rehabilitations and upgrades in your neighbourhood. Crews and construction activity is actively ongoing.

Project Details/Background:

As part of the Saunderson Pressure Reducing Station project, contractors will be working in the green space of the Jug Handle underneath the Steinhauer Bridge along MacDonald Drive. Contractors will be hauling material to and from this green space, which will require trucks to maneuver in and around the area.

Proposed Start and End Dates:

October 2nd, 2025 – October 16th, 2025

Contractor:

H. Wilson Industries (2010) Ltd

Lead Department:

Project Management Office

Community Benefit:

This will improve the water flow to communities south of the Urban Service Area which includes the Saline Creek Plateau, Anzac, Gregoire Lake Estates, Saprae Creek Estates, and the Fort McMurray Airport. The facility also creates opportunities for a redundant (back-up) supply of water in the event of an emergency.

Construction Impacts:

Trucks will be maneuvering in and out of this space so it will be important for drivers to follow the appropriate signage and be aware of their surroundings.
