A leak in the water main used to supply the Greenhill Reservoir in Stoney Creek was first identified during a routine inspection using a robot.

The pipe is made with a prestressed concrete cylinder (PCCP), a part commonly used in 1970s-era construction.

The $6.5-million repair involves sending workers into the tunnel to drain the pipe and install a carbon fiber lining.
