2019 ACCOMPLISHMENTS

ECOSYSTEMS

• Upgraded sewer mains with capacity constraints to avoid sanitary sewer overflows into environmentally sensitive water course; and

• Assisted Metro Vancouver to initiate building their Sanitary Sewage Overflow (“SSO”) tank at 116 Avenue and 136 Street to prevent sewage overflows during heavy rainfall events.

INFRASTRUCTURE

• Successfully completed a Pilot project to investigate and evaluate innovative Acoustic Technology for rapid sewer pipe inspection. This technology can be used to quickly assess pipe condition for all sewer mains and the pilot program results concluded that implementing this innovative technology could reduce maintenance cost by 50%.

Educated homeowners on the need to correct cross-connections on private property to prevent stormwater and groundwater from entering the sewers.

BUILT ENVIRONMENT & NEIGHBOURHOODS

• Completed Robson Phase 1a and 2 and Birdland sewer replacement program to target AC and clay sewer replacement in some of the older areas of Surrey; • Coordinated with Metro Vancouver on the installation of odour mitigation facilities to address odour complaints in both North and South Surrey;
