Construction will include relocating utilities; replacing sanitary sewer, watermain, curb and gutter; new traffic signals at Oxford Roads 9 and 10 and new street lighting; storm sewer improvements; sidewalk upgrades; and landscaping and restoration. The affected area includes Oxford Road 9 (King Street West) from CPKC Railway west to the Town of Ingersoll boundary and the intersection of Oxford Roads 9 and 10 (Ingersoll Street South) .
A key part of this project is extending the Town of Ingersoll’s wastewater collection system to meet current and future growth needs. As part of this, some residents in this area who currently use septic systems will be connected to sanitary sewer (wastewater) service after construction is completed.
In Oxford County, as in most municipalities, property owners are responsible for the costs to extend new water and sanitary services to their neighborhood. Costs associated with servicing future growth needs are funded through Development Charges in accordance with the County’s Development Charges Background Study. We are in the early stages of planning for this infrastructure and will offer more information as the project progresses.
