Construction Updates

The Township of Centre Wellington will be proceeding with the construction of township watermain on Douglas Crescent between Gzowski Street and Forfar Street in Fergus. Construction will commence the week of August 3rd, 2026 and will continue through to end of October, 2026.

Project Description

The Township has planned for the replacement of the watermain on Douglas Crescent from Forfar Street to Gzowski Street. This watermain has seen multiple breaks in recent years and has reached the end of its service life. Construction will also include the replacement of a section of sanitary sewer and a new pavement structure.

This project is scheduled to begin in late spring 2026 and be completed by December 2026.

During construction, Douglas Crescent between Gzowski Street and Forfar Street E will be closed to through traffic. In general, local access to properties will be maintained; however, short-duration restrictions may occur from time to time based on construction activities. Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times. Whenever possible, the contractor will provide advance notice in case access to your property will be temporarily affected.
