FAQs

Consistent with all municipal infrastructure renewal projects of this nature, the tendered project will stipulate requirements relative to the Contractor’s duty to facilitate garbage and recycling collection. The Contractor will be required to ensure access to facilitate continued collection. Where collection cannot be undertaken safely, it will be the Contractor’s responsibility to collect and relocate recycle boxes and garbage toter carts to a location where collection can be safely completed. All garbage toter carts and recycle boxes will then be returned to the appropriate residence. Residence shall be responsible for ensuring their address is clearly marked on each box and toter cart.

This project is being funded through various Municipality of Chatham-Kent infrastructure lifecycle budgets. All residences will be provided with a water service, storm private drain connection and a sanitary private drain connection. Existing water, storm and sanitary services will be reconnected to ensure continuity of service.

There are no additional costs or levies to residents associated with this project.

Landscaping and decorative features within the municipal road allowance may need to be temporarily removed in advance of the work. Examples may include decorative fences, flower beds, modular block retaining walls or signs. Relocation and reinstatement (and associated costs) of such items will be the responsibility of the property owner.

Sprinkler systems, sprinkler heads and irrigation systems which extend into the municipal road allowance may need to be temporarily removed in advance of the work. Should you have such a system, it is best to advise the municipality and provide as much information as possible related to the system so that the influence of the work can be assessed. Relocation and reinstatement (and associated costs) of sprinkler systems, sprinkler heads and irrigation systems will be the responsibility and cost of the property owner.

Special routine healthcare deliveries (example – the home delivery of oxygen) and non-emergency medical access (example - specialized transit, patient transfer) should be coordinated with the Project Team as soon as possible and in advance of the construction.
