Notice of Construction – Channel Rehabilitation

The City of Waterloo would like to provide notice that the start of construction for the rehabilitation of the banks of the tributary channel to Clair Creek will begin on or about Monday September 23, 2024. The City has retained GMR Landscaping Inc. to complete construction. Residents may notice workers completing non-construction activities the week of September 16. These activities could include surveying or marking trees/limbs designated for removal.

Select residents will receive notices from a third party, hired by the contractor, to complete pre-construction condition assessments of properties abutting the drainage channel. These notices will contain contact information to setup an inspection date/time. Inspections consist of taking photos and videos of the interior and exterior of your house to establish a baseline condition in the event that there is a claim for any damages to your property as a result of construction. Residents can choose not to have their property inspected. If you choose not to have your property inspected, it's strongly recommended you take photos yourself in advance of construction.

Residents are reminded to remove any plantings near retaining walls that are designated for replacement. Please contact the project manager (contact information below) if you’re unsure whether these wire boxes on your property are designated for replacement or not.

For access, the contractor will need to remove any of the bridge’s residents have constructed across the channel. Residents are responsible for re-installing the bridges following construction.
