The Waterdown to Finch Project’s installation of the replacement pipeline is nearing completion in the City of Toronto. A restoration plan is being followed to help return all impacted areas to as close to pre-construction conditions as possible.

Installation of the replacement pipeline is complete across the entire Project right-of-way and the new line is now operational and in-service. The existing pipeline will be safely deactivated and left in place to minimize environmental impacts. A restoration plan will be followed through summer 2022 to help return all impacted areas to as close to pre-construction conditions as possible.

Construction impacts

Throughout construction, Imperial has remained committed to reducing local impacts and disruptions. A restoration plan is being followed to help return all impacted areas to as close to pre-construction conditions as possible. Some vegetation and tree removal was required to accommodate safe construction activities, mainly limited to private land and/or within the hydro corridor, and are accounted for in the restoration plan.

For more information on the restoration process, please click here.

To accommodate safe restoration activities, access to some facilities will be temporarily closed through summer 2022 and are listed under closures.
