Tyndall Watermain Upgrade

Start Date: June 2025

Completion Date: March 2026

What’s Happening?

Saanich will be undertaking utility upgrades on Tyndall Avenue from Hillcrest Avenue to Serenity Place and between El Sereno Drive and Grandview Drive. We originally planned to complete this project earlier in 2024 but have delayed it until Summer 2025 to complete higher priority water projects. The scope of the work includes replacing existing watermain infrastructure including service connections and fire hydrants.

Construction Impacts:

Vehicle access will be impacted by single lane alternating traffic, and full closures depending on the work area location along the roadway. During full closures, local traffic only (i.e., residents) will still have access to their properties. Traffic control personnel and signage will be in-place to help direct vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians through and around the work areas. Some properties will have their driveway inaccessible for a short period of time. Saanich Public Works staff will notify residents of those occasions and try to accommodate any access concerns.

Phased disruption to services in the area will occur during construction. Public Works will notify residents a minimum of 24 hours prior to any disruption of services. Garbage, garden waste and recycling services will be maintained.

Project Timeline:

Construction scheduling is underway and Hello Saanich will be updated as soon as it is confirmed. This project is estimated to be complete in 14 weeks from the start of construction.

Why are we doing this?

The existing watermain infrastructure has reached its end of life and is required to be replaced. New watermain pipes will be installed in the roadway and new water service connections will be provided to each property.
