April 20-24, 2009 - Toronto Island Sewage Pumping Stations (SPS) Wet Well Leak Test,
component of the Toronto Island Sewage Pumping Stations Upgrade Project is a wet well leak test which is scheduled to take place during the week of April 20 24, 2009. Since the majority of residents and businesses on Wards and Algonquin Islands are connected to one of the 12 Sewage Pumping Stations, we ask for your cooperation in limiting your water use for six to seven hours while the testing occurs at the Sewage Pumping Station your residence/business is connected to. To find out what date and time you are being asked to restrict your water use on, please see the Wet Well Leak Test Notice (PDF)
The Project
Toronto Water is undertaking a state of good repair project to rehabilitate and upgrade 12 Sewage Pumping Stations located on Wards and Algonquin Islands (see maps below). The rehabilitation and upgrades are necessary because the Sewage Pumping Stations’ equipment, instrumentation and controls are nearing the end of their service life.
