Regina Emerges as a Leader in Watermain Rehabilitation

Structurally rehabilitating its first watermain with cured-in-place lining (CIPP) in 2002, the City of Toronto has invested in the technology each year since. The City has grown the program to become the largest CIPP lining program in North America, rehabilitating more than 25 miles (40 km) a year.

Historically the City has focused the program on projects that lay in residential, commercial or industrial areas in the City. One instance of this less traditional location was the rehabilitation of a watermain that had failed under the Mimico Creek in Etobicoke.
