King’s Park Well Maintenance

Drinking Water Services will be performing proactive and preventative maintenance work on the communal well system servicing the King’s Park neighbourhood in Richmond. The work is scheduled to occur as follows:

• The work at 2 Chanonhouse Drive is scheduled from June 19 to June 23, 2023. 

• The work at 30 Chanonhouse Drive is scheduled from July 10 to July 14, 2023.

Residents are most likely to notice additional vehicles in the area to support our work.  This will include City trucks and contractor vehicles in the area of our well stations.

Under normal operating conditions, the community’s drinking water is served by two independent well stations, with alternating “online” and “back-up” status to ensure the availability of the system at all times. The maintenance being performed will require that each station be taken offline, for separate consecutive one-week periods per station. During those periods, backup measures will be implemented to ensure redundancy and continuity of service at all times.

We have informed residents of the increased vehicular traffic, through a bilingual flyer, that was delivered to the immediately impacted area. I’ve attached a copy of the flyer for your information.  Residents may also view the details of this work on Ottawa.ca/kingsparkmaintenance.
