Tecumseh Hamlet Northwest Water & Wastewater Infrastructure Project
Project Overview
Construction for the Tecumseh Hamlet Secondary Plan Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Project is scheduled to begin in early April, weather permitting. This important infrastructure project was awarded to Rudak Excavating Inc. by Tecumseh Town Council on February 25, 2025.
The work will take place in two phases and is expected to be completed by the end of the year. 
Phase 1 – Greenfield Area (East of Banwell Road)
-
Installation of approximately 1,350 metres of new 1200 mm sanitary sewer
-
Installation of approximately 1,350 metres of new 400 mm watermain
-
Construction will take place between County Road 22 and Intersection Road
This work involves deep excavation. To protect the environment, a specialized method called micro-tunnelling will be used in some areas. Large underground shafts will be built first to support this process. Early construction will focus on shaft development before pipe installation begins.
Phase 2 – Intersection Road and Surrounding Area
-
Installation of 520 metres of new 600 mm sanitary sewer
-
Installation of 550 metres of new 400 mm watermain
-
A new storm sewer will be installed from Shawnee Road toward the Lachance Drain
Much of the watermain work on Intersection Road will be done using horizontal directional drilling, which helps reduce disruption for local residents. Open cut (trench) excavations on Intersection will be completed for the installation of the new sanitary and storm sewers.
Traffic Disruptions:
-
Intersection Road will be closed at times, but access for residents, school busses, and emergency vehicles will be maintained
-
Construction traffic can also be expected on Gouin St., but only to facilitate the micro-tunneling component of the Phase 1 sanitary sewer installation
-
Traffic detours will be in place; the Town is coordinating detours with Windsor and Essex County during times when neighbouring City and County projects are simultaneously underway
We appreciate your patience as we complete this important infrastructure upgrade. Your cooperation will help ensure the long-term success of our community’s water and wastewater systems.
