Oxford Road 9 (King St W) infrastructure improvements in Ingersoll

09/06/2024

Updates

Project will include wastewater service extension, watermain replacement, road reconstruction and more

Upcoming PIC Oxford County is continuing infrastructure improvements to Oxford Road 9 (King Street West), with construction expected to begin in March 2025. 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; and,
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.

Public Information Centre

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.

A Public Information Centre (PIC) is being held for residents in the area to view plans and discuss the project details with Oxford County staff. This includes Public Works engineering staff who will answer questions about the construction work taking place, as well as Finance staff who can answer questions about costs for sanitary services. Residents in the area will have received an invitation to the meeting at their home.

September 10, 2024 | Drop in from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Ingersoll Town Hall, Council Chambers
2nd Floor, 130 Oxford Street, Ingersoll

More information and updates

Servicing impacts: Residents who are being provided with a connection to the sanitary sewer system at the property line will receive information and updates from Oxford County to explain this process. For instance, closer to construction, you will be asked to provide Oxford County engineering staff with information about your septic system location and/or your preferred location for your sanitary sewer service to be placed to your property line. You will also receive annual updates explaining the billing process.
Construction impacts. Residents and businesses in the affected area will receive a notice in early 2025 with the construction start date and estimated completion date. This notice will describe any impacts to traffic, garbage and recycling collection, etc. Oxford County will also share traffic impacts with the broader community through local media, the County website, and social media.
