Construction Resumes on McCarthy Boulevard Sewer Renewal Project

Work resumed on the McCarthy Boulevard Sewer Renewal Project last week. The project will update a critical wastewater pipe that carries nearly 100 per cent of Regina’s wastewater. The sewer renewal involves relining a significant section of the wastewater pipe, extending its life by about 50 years.

The City anticipates ongoing lane restrictions throughout the project, with a short, full road closure of McCarthy Boulevard between Mikkelson Drive and the railway tracks from April 11 to 12.

“We’re pleased to see work moving forward again on this essential project as it will strengthen Regina’s wastewater system for the long term,” said Carolyn Kalim, Director, Water, Waste and Environment. “This project allows us to renew critical infrastructure in a cost-effective way, helping ensure reliable service for residents while minimizing impacts to the community.”

The project will involve reinstalling a temporary sewer bypass pipe along McCarthy Boulevard between the railway tracks and Mikkelson Drive. In a second phase, crews will prepare the wastewater pipe for relining by cleaning out any existing debris before installing the new liner. The project is expected to be completed by late August 2026.

Residents are reminded to plan ahead, slow down and drive safely. Thank you for your understanding and patience while this important infrastructure work is being completed.
