Cranbrook council has approved the construction of Phase 1 of the West Victoria Trunk Upgrade project from 4th Street South to 5th Street South.
Council approved a project cost of up to $550,000.
In February, council approved the design of the trunk main replacement project.
The upgrade is to coincide with a townhome development at 1601 4th Street South.
“Should the town house development move forward without this project, the future replacement and upgrade would be made more complicated and expensive once the development is complete due to public interaction, site conditions, dust, noise, landscaping reclamation, etc,” said engineering and development services manager, Curtis Penson.
Construction has begun on the townhome development consisting of 34 units.
