Storm Outfalls and Trail Restoration

Mount Albert Storm Outfalls and Trail Restoration

Map detailing the storm outfalls and trail restoration locationsProject Background:

There are four storm outfalls and one span of trail in need of repair. Town staff have investigated and continue to monitor the condition of the outfalls, although they require repair, the current state is stable and interim holding repairs will be completed (if necessary) until construction takes place. Similarly, the slope behind 13 and 15 Valley Mills Road was also inspected, monitored, and deemed stable. 

This project has several complex
factors that are being considered as part of the repairs, including slope stability, erosion, construction access, environmental and trail impacts. With the help of preliminary input received by external construction and engineering professionals, Town staff have awarded the design contract to Aquafor Beech. 

Storm Outfall Locations:

  • 66 Alice Street (rear-lot)
  • 68 and 70 Alice Street (rear-lot)
  • Behind 15 and 17 Valley Mills Road (Two Storm Outfalls) 

Trail Restoration Location:

  • Behind 13 and 15 Valley Mills Road 

Construction funding for the Trail Restoration is expected to be requested as part of the 2027 Capital Budget Deliberations.
