As the lifecycle of Brentwood Reservoir comes to an end, upgrades to the Wildflower Reservoir are required in order to decommission Brentwood Reservoir without having an impact on services.
Strathmore's Master Servicing Study completed in 2020 found the Brentwood water reservoir to be nearing its end of life. With plans to close the reservoir and upgrade the Wildflower Reservoir, there is a need for new watermain connection on Centennial Drive and an upsize of the watermain along Maplewood Drive.

Project Details
Maplewood Drive Watermain Upsize & Centennial Drive Watermain Connection | ||
To accommodate the closure of Brentwood Reservoir, a new connection to the watermain line along Centennial Drive and the upsizing of the existing watermain line along Maplewood Drive between Centennial Drive and Brentwood Drive will ensure services continue and a flow capacity is maintained. While this work is being constructed, the Town also plans to realign Maplewood Drive, thereby increasing the pathway/landscaping area along the west side of Maplewood Drive, and providing specific areas for on-street parking. Construction Schedule June – August: Underground Utility Upgrades and Connections
August – October: Landscaping

Wildflower Reservoir Upgrade | ||
To accommodate the closure of Brentwood Reservoir, the Wildflower Reservoir will require upgrades to the pumping system to hold flow capacity and electrical & building upgrades to correspond with the pump upgrades. |
||
Brentwood Reservoir decommissioning | ||
Working with our partners at Epcor Utilities, the Town will decommission the Brentwood Reservoir and manage the distribution system solely from the existing Wildflower Reservoir until the construction of a new reservoir to the east of town (2040+). |
