Residents will  be responsible for ensuring their address is clearly marked on each box and toter cart.

Your watermain service connection will be replaced from the new watermain to the property line. During construction of the watermain, you will not be without water for more than a few hours and you will be notified well in advance.

While the sanitary sewer is being replaced there may be isolated times where service may be disrupted, however any impacts associated with the replacement will be minimal and you will be notified in advance.

You will have access to your residence and street throughout construction. There will be temporary closures at the main intersections to allow for the sewer and watermain connections. While there may be temporary access limitations to allow for work in front of your property, you will be notified of them a minimum of 48 hours in advance and the Contractor and Consultant Site Inspector will work with you to ensure you are not adversely impacted.
