Prince Edward County issues reminder about closure of Millennium Trail in Wellington

REMINDER: Section of Millennium Trail closed in Wellington

• The closure is required so that emergency services (fire, police, and paramedics) can use the trail to access Wellington on the Lake during the Wellington Main Street closure.
• A full closure of Wellington Main Street between Cleminson Street and the entrance to the Wellington water and wastewater treatment plant is in effect. Through traffic is not be permitted during the full road closure. Drivers are reminded to respect the road closure signage and use the detour route.
• The closure is related to the Wellington trunk watermain and sanitary sewer project.

Project background
A new trunk watermain is required to meet the water distribution and storage needs of the existing residents and future development within the Wellington urban serviced area. The new sewer trunks will accommodate the anticipated increase in wastewater flows from new developments.

The new trunks will be constructed from the location of the existing water and wastewater treatments plants to the east along Wellington Main Street, north on Cleminson Street, east along the Millennium Trail and then connect to the new water tower on Belleville Street.

A watermain upgrade will be completed starting at Prince Edward Drive and Elmdale Street, going south to Wellington Main Street, and west along Wellington Main Street to the treatment plant.

The project also includes a new sanitary pumping station located on the Millennium Trail near the intersection with West Street. This pumping station is a component of the new trunk sanitary sewer.

The municipality expects to complete the project by the end of 2025.
