A new trunk sewer is being installed in the west end of Trenton from summer 2025 until spring 2027. This project will support growth in the west end of the city and increase water and sewer capacity for up to 5,000 new homes.

What is a trunk sewer?

A trunk sewer is a large, underground sewer line that collects wastewater from smaller sewers and carries it to a treatment plant.

Small sewers, such as those from homes, businesses and streets, feed into collector sewers, which then flow into large trunk sewers.

What work does this project involve?

This work will include the installation of a new underground water and sewer main that will extend from downtown to the west end of the city, including:

  • Fraser Park Drive
  • Albert Street
  • Creswell Drive
  • Victoria Avenue
  • Dufferin Avenue
  • 2nd Dug Hill Road
  • Highway 2

Residents and commuters can expect lane, road and sidewalk closures in the west end of Trenton while this project is completed.
