Construction Update September 26

Construction updates are being provided as a courtesy to keep residents appraised of upcoming work. Due to the nature of construction, schedules can quickly change and residents should be prepared for unexpected changes.

Upcoming work:

1. Lowering of watermain to remove conflicts with storm bypass sewer
2. Adjusting third party utilities (e.g. Rogers, Bell, hydro, gas) to remove conflicts with storm bypass

During some shutdowns, your water may be turned off. Residents affects by water shutdowns will be notified by a letter from the contractor, so please keep an eye out for that letter in your mailbox. Some tips to alleviate the inconvenience of a shutdown:

1. Fill up pitchers of water for drinking and put them in the fridge.
2. Fill up sinks with water in advance for hand washing or dishwashing.
3. Fill up buckets or a bath tub with water that can be used for flushing toilets. Toilets can be flushed by filling up the tank at the back of the toilet after a flush, using the water from the buckets and bath tub. Tank-less toilets can be flushed by quickly dumping the water from the bucket into the bowl. Be careful not to splash!

As of this update, residents of Keats Way Place have access during working hours via Keats Way and McDougall. The means of access may vary from day to day based on the location of work for that day so please be aware and take your cues from the layout of the pylons and direction from workers on-site.
