Didsbury's Waterline project will see a new waterline installed underneath 21 Avenue and along 19 Street to connect the town's existing water network with the new East Reservoir.
19 Street:
Beginning this Thursday (April 30, 2026) there will be construction activity along most of 19 Street, including a road closure/detour at 21 Ave. lasting approximately 3 weeks. This is part of the waterline project associated with the new East Reservoir, and the work is expected to continue until the end of June.
What to expect: For the majority of this phase of the project, traffic will continue to flow along 19 Street, either as 2-way with reduced lane width, or Single Lane Alternating Traffic. Signage will be in place and, as always, we ask that drivers pay attention, respect the equipment and workers in the area, and follow directions.
The parking lot at the Didsbury Memorial Complex will also be closed from April 30 to end of June. Please use the new/overflow parking lot (access off 22 Ave.) and follow the signs to access the Complex's front doors.
21 Avenue:
Work on the waterline began in March 2026 and will see intersections at 16 Street, 17 Street, 19 Street, and 20 Street closed at different times between March and June 2026. Directional drilling will allow crews to run the new pipes under 21 Avenue (including the area near the Jets Ball Diamond, Jets Park, the Skate Park, and in front of the Didsbury Memorial Complex). The waterline will be fed under the CPKC Railway Tracks as well.
