Municipal Underground Services Project

As Jasper continues to rebuild, the Municipality is moving forward with an important step: repairing underground water and sewer infrastructure in fire-affected areas of the community.

This work has been approved by Jasper Municipal Council and will be supported through the Disaster Recovery Program (DRP). The upgrades will help ensure water and sewer services in fire-affected areas are reliable and ready to support rebuilding efforts now and into the future. Doing this work now will help avoid additional excavation and construction impacts in the future.

**For up-to-date detailed information about which lots are scheduled for work in the near term and which lots have had work completed please see the Industry Bulletin webpage: Municipality of Jasper - Municipal Underground Services Project**

Phase 2

Phase 2

Following the completion of Phase 1, the project will move into Phase 2, which will continue site servicing work in other fire-affected neighbourhoods. While Phase 2 will involve many of the same site servicing activities undertaken during Phase 1, it will also include more complex work, such as sewer rehabilitation.

Where: Work will commence in late August in the 700-900 block of the following areas with an estimated completion date of October:

Turret St
Patricia St
Geikie St
Connaught Ave

How this affects you:

If rebuilding on your property hasn't started yet:
This work is intended to support your rebuild. By completing underground municipal water and sewer work now, we aim to simplify future connections and reduce construction disruption later in the rebuilding process.

If your home is currently under construction:
Your builder or contractor may need to coordinate directly with Municipal Operations to align servicing work with the municipal infrastructure program. Builders and contractors will be contacted directly and address any concerns or inquiries to the Municipality of Jasper’s Construction Coordinator.

If your home has already been rebuilt and reconnected:
The Municipality will review whether any municipal-side servicing work is still needed at your property. If work is required through Phase 1, or later through Phase 2 water and sewer main upgrades, the Municipality will contact you or your builder directly.

If your home was not affected by the wildfire and is currently occupied:
Underground servicing work may still be required at your property. The Municipality will provide advance notice before work begins and will coordinate any required access and property-specific impacts with you. In some cases, landscaping, fencing or hardscaping may need to be temporarily disturbed. The Municipality will communicate the restoration approach in advance, with some resurfacing work potentially deferred until the next construction season so it can be coordinated efficiently with other work in the area.

Costs

There will be no cost to leaseholders for work associated with Phase 1 or Phase 2 of this project.

Property Access

This project includes repair and refurbishment of the Municipality’s underground water and sanitary services. Homeowners remain responsible for the private services required to connect their homes to the municipal system.

To complete this work safely and efficiently, municipal crews and contractors may require temporary access to portions of private property located next to municipal rights-of-way.
