What lies beneath Northland and Norton Avenues?

These neighborhoods were built over a century ago and include the following infrastructure:

  • 90-107 year-old watermain and sewer mains
  • Lead pipes bring water from the watermain in the street to homes, which is a potential water quality hazard
  • Its been at least 13 to almost 25 years since the streets were resurfaced
  • The existing water flow to fire hydrants is too low, which creates a potential safety hazard

In comparison, new sewers and watermains last 50 years and newly resurfaced streets last 9 to 12 years.
