Bulk Water Station- 40 Loyalist Drive, Brighton
Project Purpose
The purpose of this project is to relocate the Brighton Bulk Water Station on Pinnacle Street from a residential area to a commercial / industrial location. An extension of Loyalist Drive in the Brighton Industrial Park is selected as the preferred location.
Project Management
The municipality hired Greer Galloway Limited to design the bulk water station based on a similar design used in Quinte West. Greer Galloway also completed the Class Environmental Assessment for the site location selection. Municipal engineering staff finalized site works engineering design, tendering, inspection, and contract administration.
Site works were included in the Loyalist Drive / Applewood Drive reconstruction project in 2023. QBT Excavating Services Inc. through competitive bidding constructed the above and underground site works up to base lift of asphalt. A second tender will be issued for final top lift of asphalt once the building is in place in 2024.
