Central Park Water Main - Imperial Section Phase 1
Metro Vancouver is replacing the Central Park Water Main, which has been phased over several years and spans approximately 12 kilometres in the City of Burnaby and the City of New Westminster. The existing water main was built in the 1930s and is reaching the end of its service life. Once complete, the new water main will help ensure the continued delivery of clean, safe drinking water well into the future.
The Imperial Section of the Central Park Water Main is approximately 3.5 kilometres long and will be located along Imperial Street, between Maywood Street and Telford Avenue, and Griffiths Avenue and Elwell Street.
Construction of this section is expected to take place from fall 2025 to late 2025. Towards the end of the project, Metro Vancouver will return to connect the newly constructed water main to the existing drinking water system.
Two sections of the new water main are complete or underway: the Maywood Section was completed in fall 2020, and the Salisbury/18th Section will be completed in late 2022.
