Hollywood Drive and Tampa Drive - Keswick
Polybutylene Water Service Replacements
The Town of Georgina will be replacing water service connections along Hollywood Drive and Tampa Drive in Keswick in the summer of 2023.
The water service connections are made of polybutylene, a material that has a reduced service life. The polybutylene water services in the area have frequently leaked, causing expensive emergency repairs. The Town is proactively replacing the polybutylene water services with copper water services.
