West of Main Street Sewer Main Replacement

Construction updates

In addition to the construction activities outlined in the two-week update below, starting Monday, April 12, 2026, there will be some video work taking place for the sanitary sewer along Main Street between Highway 1 and 1st Street.  This will require single-lane alternating traffic on this section of Main Street during the daytime. 

The contractors expect that this work will be completed by the end of the day on Tuesday, April 13, 2026.

Background

Last spring, staff presented an update to Council on sewer and wastewater treatment plant projects to be funded through $7.5 million federal / provincial Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP), and funding was confirmed in December 2025. Projects will replace sewer infrastructure damaged during the 2021 fire and improve capacity and infrastructure as Lytton rebuilds. 

The Village provides sewer services for properties in the Village of Lytton and Lytton First Nation’s IR 17 and IR 18.

Project overview

Starting this spring and continuing for 4 to 6 months, the West of Main Street Sewer Replacement Project will include the following:

  1. Sewer main replacement in the following areas:
  • Center Lane from 1st Street to 6th Street, 6th Street to Main Street, and Main Street from 6th to 7th Street
  • West Lane from 1st Street to the Community Hub site on Fraser Street

2. Sewer connections in the following areas: 

  • On 1st Street from Main Street to Center Lane
  • On 2nd Street from West Lane to Center Lane
  • On 3rd Street from Main Street to Center Lane
  • On 4th Street from Fraser Street to Center Lane

3. Associated improvements for storm sewers and water mains

This project will move the Village’s main sewer line, which carries sewage from IR 18 and the north end of the Village, from West Lane to Center Lane. It will also upgrade the watermain on West Lane and the storm sewer mains on Center Lane and 6th Street.
