  • Notice of Commencement - Portage Trunk Sewer Rehabilitation

    Description

    Niagara Region is carrying out the preliminary and detailed design of improvements to the Portage Trunk Sewer, located in the City of Niagara Falls.

    The Portage Trunk Sewer is located along a hydro corridor between the rear yards of Sheldon Street and Darcy Crescent / Maplewood Avenue. Sewage is discharged from the Kalar Road Sewage Pumping Station into the trunk sewer at an access chamber located south of the rear fence line at 6606 Sheldon Street. The sewer continues eastward for approximately 1.3 kilometers before discharging to the Stamford Interceptor and ultimately the Niagara Falls Wastewater Treatment Plant.

    • Hydrant Flushing - 2024

      Description

      The City of Niagara Falls fire hydrant flushing program began on April 2, 2024, and will continue on into the fall of 2024. This is performed as part of a scheduled preventative maintenance program to help maintain good water quality and to improve water flow in your neighbourhood. The flushing will be moving to the areas bordered by TSR, Dorchester Rd, North Limit and East Limit (see map for further detail). If you reside in this area, you may notice a temporary decrease in your water pressure and may experience discoloured water. If discolouration occurs, running a cold water tap closest to your water meter for a short period of time should alleviate the problem. Should you have any questions, concerns or persistent issues, please contact the Municipal Service Centre at 905-356-1355. The City’s Annual Water Report can be viewed online at www.niagarafalls.ca or in person at the Municipal Service Centre at 3200 Stanley Avenue
