MAIN STREET TUNNEL REHABILITATION PROJECT

The Town of Deseronto is currently working with Empipe Solutions Limited (ESL), Greer Galloway Group (GGG) and Quinte Conservation Authority (QCA) on required permitting and project scheduling for the re-lining of the underground tunnel located near 100 Main Street (west side of Centennial Park).

Deseronto Council approved the re-lining of the underground tunnel in the summer of 2024 during low run off periods (July-August). This rehabilitation comes with a performance guarantee of 10 years and a life expectancy between 25 and 50 years. The total cost of the project is estimated at $160,000 and is being funded by the Canada Community Building Fund (formerly known as Gas Tax).

The underground tunnel is critical infrastructure to control drainage from the northwestern portion of the community and divert water from residences and developed areas. There are no projected disruptions to residents during this project.
