Highway 48 Watermain Replacement
The Highway 48 Watermain Replacement project will replace approximately 3 km of existing watermain along Highway 48, from 13501 Highway 48 to Vandorf Sideroad.
The project will address aging infrastructure that has experienced several breaks in recent years and will improve the reliability and performance of the Town's water distribution system. The work includes the replacement of the existing watermain and associated infrastructure necessary to support continued service delivery and future growth.

Background
The existing watermain along Highway 48 was installed in 1982 and serves residents and properties along the corridor. The approximately 3 km watermain is constructed of 150 mm diameter ductile iron pipe and forms an important part of the Town's drinking water distribution system.
Over time, the watermain has experienced several breaks and requires ongoing maintenance and repairs. As infrastructure ages, the likelihood of watermain failures increases, which can impact service reliability and result in higher maintenance costs.
The Town has identified the Highway 48 watermain as a priority infrastructure asset requiring renewal to ensure the continued delivery of safe, reliable drinking water. The need for improvements has also been recognized through the Town's 2024 Water and Wastewater Master Plan Update, (ES 3.1.3) which identified this section of watermain for potential future system enhancements as Stouffville continues to grow.
The Highway 48 Watermain Replacement project will address the current condition of the infrastructure while supporting the Town's long-term asset management and growth planning objectives.
