Hydrovac Construction Notice - Chestermere 17th Ave SE Water Meter Chamber
As part of the Chestermere 17 Avenue SE Water Meter Chamber project, the City of Calgary will be installing a new water meter and accompanying chamber along 17 Avenue SE near the city limits and are decommissioning an existing one.
Prior to the construction, investigative work is required at the site to confirm the location of underground utilities. The work will be completed at the northwest corner of the intersection in the City right-of-way.
This project ensures water quality monitoring standards are met and that the new meter’s location is in accordance with the new City of Calgary’s boundaries.
The first stage of the project involves replacing the water meter measuring water supply to The City of Chestermere. The replacement includes building a water meter chamber, which is an underground concrete structure that covers and protects a water meter and provides access from above. The construction of the chamber is planned for late spring / early Summer 2024 at the intersection of 17 Avenue S.E. and Range Road 284 (116 Street S.E.).
Schedule
This investigative work will take place for one day on the week of April 22, 2024. Construction hours are: 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. Installing the new meter and chamber will take place later this spring or early summer with decommissioning of the old chamber to take place in September.
Construction Impacts
We will strive to reduce impacts to nearby residents, businesses and traffic during the work. We will also be monitoring for noise and vibration.
During the work, temporary lane closures will be in place in the morning and removed at the end of the day.
Two-way traffic will be maintained at all times.
The turning lane on 17 Avenue S.E. at 116 Street S.E. will be closed at the project site, with the westbound lane open for vehicle traffic.
Residents can expect to see construction trucks entering and leaving the area, construction noise and dust.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we complete this necessary work.
