Established in 2010 through the adoption of the Keswick Neighbourhood Structure Plan (NSP), Keswick on the River is a new community in southwest Edmonton, Alberta. Bounded by the North Saskatchewan River to the west and the Windemere Golf and Country club to the north, the 200-acre neighbourhood is named for a quaint town in northwest England and features more than 1,500 homes that offer old world English architecture designed to look and feel like a country village. Future residents of Keswick on the River will enjoy riverside living, playgrounds, a nature trail system and easy access to Edmonton.
As with much of Edmonton’s storm systems that collects surface water into underground pipes and conveys it to either surface watercourse, lakes, ravines or the river, the development of Keswick required a system to drain surface water and prevent flooding.
