About the Project
Project Description
The City of Kamloops Centre Sanitary Sewer Trunk Main project was identified as a DCC project in 2022 to improve sanitary sewer system capacity in the city centre area. Much of the downtown area is currently serviced via small diameter sewer mains in alleyways. Given the density increases and ongoing development there is a need to relieve pressure on the network.
The concept for the project was to install a large diameter (nominally 600mm) gravity sewer trunk main roughly from the 700-block of Lansdowne Street westward towards eventual discharge at the Riverside Lift Station. The alleyway sanitary sewer mains will periodically be connected to the trunk main to reduce flows in the existing network.
In addition to resolving capacity issues in the immediate vicinity, this project will also provide additional capacity for upstream DCC projects and a potential future lift station connection near 8th Avenue and Lansdowne Street. This scope is the first of a multi-phase city centre upgrade project.
Project Goals
Overall Goals Included
Increase capacity of the existing laneway sanitary network;
Form the first phase of a multi-phase city centre network upgrade to allow for long-term capacity improvements;
Eliminate the existing sanitary sewer railway crossings at 2nd Avenue and 100 block Victoria Street West;
Re-service the Lansdowne Bus Exchange such that it is no longer connected to a private sewer system;
Allow for a future lift station connection at the eastern extent of the trunk main;
Reduce the reliance on the aging 450mm concrete and clay tile gravity main between Lorne Street and the Riverside Lift Station
