Saville-Seaton Area Storm Drainage Improvement Project

In advance of design and construction work, the Region of Halton and Town of Oakville are jointly undertaking investigative geotechnical/soil work in the area. 

The work will take place both on the public streets and within both Seabrook and Rebecca Gardens Park. It is currently underway so residents may observe drilling rigs/trucks in the area. 

Please see a location map below of this proposed works.

Saville-Seaton Area Borehole Location Plan

Work in the area marked in red, is expected to be completed in 2025. 

These streets include Sherin Drive, Tennyson Drive, Vickery Drive, Salisbury Drive, Wakely Street, the south portion of Seaton Drive, Sabel Street and the easement connecting Vickery Drive and Rebecca Street. 

The Region of Halton will be improving portions of the water and wastewater mains along these roadways. 

Work in the area marked in yellow, is expected to be completed in 2026. 

These streets include Bridge Road, Trafford Crescent, Saxon Road, Saxon Drive, Seabrook Drive, Swann Drive, the north portion of Seaton Drive, Saville Crescent and Scarsdale Crescent.

The Town of Oakville, in conjunction with The Region of Halton, will be improving the surface drainage routes (driveway culverts and the roadside ditches) along with upgrading and adding to existing portions of the storm sewer system. 

The proposed Region of Halton works will include improvements to portions of the water and wastewater mains along the same roadways. 

The Saville Area Storm Drainage Improvement Project identified various works that will be constructed over the next several years. 

The work will improve the town’s stormwater drainage system and reduce the potential for stormwater to enter the Region’s Sanitary Sewer network through inflow and infiltration. 

The overall benefit of this project will be a reduction of flooding risks during rainfall events. 

• Rebecca Gardens Park – the recommended underground storage facility is scheduled to commence design work in 2027, with construction starting in 2029.
• Seabrook Park – the recommended underground storage facility is currently scheduled to commence design work in 2029, with construction starting in 2031.

This order of construction is necessary because the downstream facility at Rebecca Gardens Park needs to be ready to receive the additional flows that will be directed from the upstream facility at Seabrook Park.  

Please note that project timing is reviewed annually and may change.
