On Monday evening, Langley City Council approved a $2.97 million tender for Hyland Excavating Ltd. to replace the watermain under 200th Street between 44th Avenue and 50th Avenue. Council also approved a $105,800 tender for ISL Engineering and Land Services Ltd. to manage the construction of the project.
The project has a $315,000 contingency, as even with the best planning, unexpected issues can be discovered during the excavation of old roads.

As part of replacing the end-of-life watermain, the project will include upsizing the pipe to accommodate future growth. To pay for the upsizing, approximately 10% of the project's funding is from development cost charges. These charges are levied on development projects in the City.
The road will be patched up after this project, but not fully repaved this year as BC Hydro will be installing new underground ducting along 200th Street in early 2026. After the BC Hydro project is complete, the road will be fully repaved.
