Breton Bay Water System
Background
The existing Breton Bay Water System serves approximately 200 homes located on the eastern side of Society Hill Road south of the Breton Inn. The system was originally constructed in the 1960s and consists of 2-, 4-, and 6-inch diameter water mains and two (2) wells. Additionally, the area is not adequately served by fire hydrants.
Project Scope of Work
The Breton Bay Water System will be replaced in three phases, as noted below. The existing water mains and water services up to the existing meter pit locations will be abandoned and new water mains and services will be installed to bring the system up to current MetCom specifications. Additional fire hydrants will also be installed to serve the area.
​
