Nelson Street Booster Station
The replacement Nelson Street Booster Pumping Station located at the base of the Meaford Water Tower became operational in 2022 to provide the required pressure and fire flows in the upper servicing zone, including the Meaford Hospital.
Final works on the projects site and final remediation of works along Nelson Street will be completed in 2023.
The project was identified in the the Water and Wastewater Servicing Master Plan, to provide better water distribution to the western portion of water distribution system.
| Project Description |
|
The replacement of the Nelson Street Booster Pumping Station saw a re-location of the booster station from the north side of Nelson Street to the Meaford Water Tower property, and included the installation of additional pumps as part of overall distribution improvements. The old facility was underground on the North side of Nelson Street and there was not sufficient land to replace or upgrade components, this building was demolished and removed in 2022. As per the Water and Wastewater Master Servicing Plan, the replacement of the Nelson Street Booster Station also required the upgrading of the existing 150mm Cast Iron watermain to a 200mm PVC Watermain from the existing Nelson Street Booster Station to Pearson Street in order to achieve the required pressure and fire flows in the upper servicing zone, including the Meaford Hospital. |
