The Squamish Helping Hands Society Under One Roof project is located at 37871 Third Avenue.
As part of the project, the existing stormwater forebay of the Third Avenue pond will be filled in and a new forebay will be constructed approximately 60 metres east. In addition, a new Oil-Grit separator will be installed upstream of the pond to capture stormwater contaminants before they enter the pond. To facilitate this work, a new storm pipe will be constructed along Main St. from the intersection of Third Avenue and Main St. to the new pond inlet.
As a result of this construction, improvements will be seen in the stormwater quality entering the Third Avenue pond and ultimately discharged into the Squamish Estuary. The District has also budgeted for and plans to investigate longer-term improvements to the Third Avenue pond in 2019.
Short-term impacts include:
Construction of stormwater works began November 5 and is expected to continue through early 2019. Dewatering began the week of February 25. The District will post project updates on this project page.
