The scope of work includes the following:
- 730 m installation of watermain and associated hydrants and services;
- 160 m of road reconstruction on Harbour Street West near Cranberry Golf Course;
- 50 m of road reconstruction at the north dead end of Tenth Line; and
- restoration of all disturbed areas, including driveways, trails, and surface elements.
Project Schedule
Construction is expected to commence in January 2026, with an anticipated completion date in May 2026.

Property and Trail Access
The affected sections of Harbour Street West and Tenth Line will have at least one lane open to vehicular traffic throughout construction. Access to all businesses within the project limits will be maintained, including Cranberry Golf Course, Legendary Group and the Simcoe County Waste Management Site.
Access to the Georgian Trail and Stynie Trail will generally be maintained during construction. Some short-term trail closures will be required to install the watermain under the trail.
