Commissioners Park is best known for its dazzling display of tulips in the spring, but the park is open to the public year-round. The park has five seasonal drinking fountains. Their water mains were in need of significant repairs.

The NCC has partially replaced the park’s water systems.

About the project

The water mains in Commissioners Park had reached the end of their life cycle, and were in need of significant repairs. The NCC has partially replaced the water systems, including the potable water line and the water management control systems.

The work consists of the following:

  • Installing a new potable water line for three of the five drinking fountains
  • Replacing the three selected drinking fountains for seasonal use
  • Removing the existing asphalt pad for the two remaining fountains, and reinstating topsoil and sod
  • Capping the existing water line as per the NCC process
  • Restoring the site

The work ensures a safe water supply for park visitors.

Process and timeline

Work has begun in September 2020, and is now completed.
