Gas Investigation Work in the Chestnut/Erie Street Area

The Province of Ontario has retained Rimkus, a qualified contractor, to investigate and remediate the presence of gas at a private property in the Chestnut/Erie Street area in Wheatley.

Site preparation and equipment mobilization will begin on Monday, October 27, with the main investigative and remediation work scheduled to commence on Wednesday, October 29.

This work has been carefully planned with public safety as a top priority. We kindly ask residents and visitors to avoid accessing the area unnecessarily while operations are underway.
