Construction Update: Chestermere 17 Avenue SE Water Meter Chamber project,
As part of the Chestermere 17 Avenue S.E. Water Meter Chamber project, we will be installing a new water meter and accompanying chamber along 17 Avenue S.E. near the city limits and are decommissioning an existing one.
We will also be conducting work for a separate project which involves the installation of a watermain connection.
Schedule
June 2024 first week: Installation of watermain connection at 17 Avenue S.E. & 100 Street S.E. will take approximately three days.
June to mid-July 2024: Installation of new water meter and chamber at the northwest intersection of 17 Avenue S.E. & 116 Street S.E. will take approximately six weeks.
September 2024 second week: Decommissioning of existing water meter chamber at 17 Avenue S.E. & 84 Street S.E. will take approximately two weeks.
Construction hours: 7 a.m. - 10 p.m., with potential later work for equipment drop-off.
Construction Impacts
Construction of watermain connection: Temporary road closure north of 17 Avenue S.E at 100 Street S.E. Access to 100 Street S.E. will be available via Township Road 242 off 17 Avenue S.E. and vice versa from 100 Street S.E. to 17 Avenue S.E. See traffic impacts on next page on Figure 1.
Construction of new water meter: Single westbound lane of 17 Avenue S.E. will be occasionally closed during equipment drop-off at the northwest intersection of 17 Avenue S.E. & 116 Street S.E., from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Temporary detour and access to 17 Avenue S.E. will be available via Township Road 240 (South of 17 Avenue S.E.).
Decommissioning of current water meter: Pathway in front of Walmart will be closed. Access to businesses will be maintained at all times. Additional details will be provided closer to construction in September 2024.
Pedestrian sidewalk access will be maintained at all times.
Residents can expect to see construction trucks entering and leaving the area, construction noise and dust.
Background
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.). Decommissioning the existing water meter chamber is planned for the second week of September 2024.
