Third-party utility projects are necessary to maintain and upgrade existing services, supporting continued growth and increased density within Coquitlam and across the region.
Partial Cable Replacement Project
BC Hydro is undertaking the Partial Cable Replacement Project to replace 1.3 kilometres of an existing underground oil-filled transmission cable with a new oil-free cable. This section of cable is between Spuraway Avenue/Pinnacle Street and the Como Lake substation at Como Lake Avenue / Lougheed Highway.
Vegetation clearing work on the BC Hydro utility corridor is slated to be underway in summer 2026 and into early 2027. After this work is complete, the cable replacement work will begin.
For additional information, please see bchydro.com/coquitlamcable. You can also contact BC Hydro by email or call 1-866-647-3334.
Eagle Mountain - Woodfibre Gas Pipeline Project
FortisBC is installing approximately 50 kilometres of new gas pipeline between Squamish and Coquitlam, as well as supporting compressor station infrastructure to supply natural gas to its customer, Woodfibre LNG. To minimize environmental footprint, most of the new line will run alongside FortisBC’s existing gas line. FortisBC began construction in Coquitlam in early 2024, and anticipates project completion in 2027.
Coquitlam
Construction in Coquitlam includes three kilometres of new gas pipeline northwest of Westwood Plateau and the installation of two new electric-powered compressor units at the existing Eagle Mountain Compressor Station. To support the new compressor units, a new substation will be built in Eagle Mountain Park connecting back to its compressor station via approximately 950 metres of new powerlines.
For more information and updates, visit the Eagle Mountain - Woodfibre Gas Pipeline Project webpage and subscribe to the project e-newsletter or reach out to the FortisBC team by email or call 1-855-380-5784.
Metro Vancouver is undertaking projects around the region to maintain and upgrade water, wastewater and solid waste infrastructure. These projects help to protect public health and the environment, and meet the needs of our growing region.
The following Metro Vancouver projects are taking place across Coquitlam.
Coquitlam Water Main Project
Metro Vancouver is constructing a new water main in Coquitlam to meet the growing demand for drinking water in the region. The Coquitlam Water Main is approximately 12 kilometres long, and varies between 2.2 and 3.5 metres in diameter. It will be constructed between the north end of Pipeline Road and Mariner Way at Riverview Crescent.
Construction of the Coquitlam Water Main is divided into four sections:
- Robson to Guildford: 2023 to 2026
- Cape Horn: 2026 to 2032
- Pipeline Road North: 2026 to 2032
- City Centre Tunnel: 2027 to 2034
Robson to Guildford Section
This section of the Coquitlam Water Main will be 1.4 kilometres long, and extend along Pipeline Road, between Robson Drive and Guildford Way. Construction will take approximately two and a half years. For more information visit, Coquitlam Water Main – Robson to Guildford Section | Metro Vancouver. If you have questions or concerns on the construction you can contact Metro Vancouver's Community Liaison directly at 604-432-6200 or by email (include "Coquitlam Water Main" in the subject line).
Once the water main between David Avenue and Guildford Way is installed, Coquitlam will upgrade Pipeline Road in the same area. The City of Coquitlam will also lead the restoration phase, which will include tree replanting along the project.
Cape Horn Section
The Cape Horn section of the Coquitlam Water Main is approximately four kilometres long, 2.2 metres in diameter, and runs from Westwood Street and Dewdney Trunk Road to Hickey Drive and Mariner Way.
Dewdney Trunk Road Water Main
The Dewdney Trunk Road water main is approximately 1.6 kilometres long, 0.9 metres in diameter, and runs along Dewdney Trunk Road between Lougheed Highway and Pier Drive. It will replace an existing main built in 1950, which has reached the end of its service life.
Stoney Creek Sewer
The Stoney Creek sewer is a large pipe that moves wastewater collected from communities in Burnaby, Coquitlam and Port Moody to the Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Plant in Delta for treatment.
Metro Vancouver is constructing a new sewer pipe in Coquitlam and Burnaby to ensure the continued protection of public health and the environment. When complete, the new pipe (approximately three kilometers long) will improve sewer service in the area by minimizing system backups and spills, supporting regional growth and protecting Stoney Creek. The project will be completed in two sections.
The Coquitlam section of the Stoney Creek Sewer Upgrade extends from Chapman Avenue to Jefferson Avenue in Coquitlam. Construction of this section is expected to start fall 2025. Learn more about the project at the Stoney Creek Sewer Upgrade – Coquitlam Section project webpage.
If you have questions or concerns on the construction you can contract Metro Vancouver's Community Liaison directly at 604-432-6200 or by email (include "Stoney Creek Sewer" in the subject line).
