About the Project
We are preparing for infrastructure upgrades on Sir John Johnson Drive and Pruyn Crescent, approved by Township Council in the 2025 capital budget. The work will include watermain and sanitary sewer replacement, water service upgrades, road reconstruction, and drainage improvements.
We will also install a multi-use pathway along Sir John Johnson Drive which will connect Main Street - Bath with Briscoe Park. Active transportation linkages are an important component of the Township's Infrastructure Masterplan, which was adopted by Council in June 2024.
The project will be going to tender in the first months of 2025. We are planning a Public Information Centre for the project in late January 2025. The details of the Public Infomration Centre are below under Project Updates, and a notice is being delivered to all households on Sir John Johnson Drive and Pruyn Crescent in the first week of January.
Project staff are available to discuss any questions or concerns you have about the project. Sign up for project updates by clicking the "Follow" button above.

More Information
Sir John Johnson Drive and Pruyn Crescent are in "old new" Bath, having been constructed in the 1970s as the Village Meadows subdivision outside the original village of Bath. They are located in the easterly area of the village, north of Main Street.
Before starting the project design, we usually do a number of investigations:
- CCTV inspections of the existing sewers (sanitary and/or storm) helps us understand their condition
- Surveying confirms property lines and the road right-of-way
- Locates confirm underground infrastructure owned by us and other utility companies
- Geotechnical (boreholes) tell us about the condition of the rock or ground in the project area and help us plan to manage the excess soils created by construction due to provincial legislation
We start compiling this information several years before we plan to start the design work.
To help us protect your property, it's important for us to know about the location of any private underground infrastructure, like sump drainage lines, irrigation systems, or buried wires, so they aren't disturbed during construction.
We are also interested in information regarding the Township's infrastructure, such as coloured water concerns, drainage issues, or sewer backups.
We encourage you to get in touch with project staff, who are happy to discuss and/or meet you onsite to address any questions or concerns.
Infrastructure renewal projects are planned and prioritized based on the condition of existing roads, watermains, and sewers. Through the Township's annual capital budget process, staff make their best recommendation to Council as to which projects should be prioritized, and Council make the final determination.
This reconstruction project has been approved by Council to take place in 2025.
