Takhini Sanitary Trunk Main

Construction has begun to repair the Takhini sanitary trunk main.

The Takhini sanitary trunk main includes flows from the McIntyre and Takhini Mains, and accounts for 40-50% of the City’s total sewage.

On June 1, 2022, a tension crack was discovered, similar to others noted along the escarpment associated with landslides in 2022. The City is concerned that this current crack could lead to another landslide that could pull the existing sanitary main or cause the manhole to tip over, resulting in an uncontrolled release.

The City is installing 1.2 km of gravity main along Range Road, down a more gentle slope, and along the west side of Mountain View Drive.

The work schedule will involve several closures throughout construction:

*Access to University Drive and Softball Yukon will be maintained throughout, and local signage will communicate closures. Road users should expect delays and plan accordingly.
