Cathodic Protection Program

Every year, the City of Ottawa launches our Cathodic Protection Program, which helps protect the city’s watermain infrastructure from failing prematurely, and to lengthen the usual lifespan of this same piping. As part of this program, contractors will soon be installing anode banks this season along the city’s right-of-way on streets in Ward 9.   

Notifications to residents that are affected by this program will proceed within the next month, through hand-delivered leaflets to impacted households. The program will run approximately from May 2025 until September 2025.   

The City of Ottawa uses a contractor with Hydro-Vac trucks to do localized excavations on the lawn portion of the right-of-way and attaches anodes to either a property’s copper water service or to a nearby fire hydrant. Any impact on the resident's lawn is repaired and reinstated the same day as the anode installation by the same contractor. City Inspectors are on site at all times to ensure work proceeds normally and resolve any issues that may arise.   

Notifications to the local residents that are affected by this program will proceed within the next month. Residents can get more information on the program by reading the 2025 Cathodic Protection Program Handout. The list of affected streets in your Ward is included below.
