Phase 2 Construction Update – June 12 to 16

Note: 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.

The following update is for the week of June 12:

1. Connect new watermain to existing system at John Street.
2. Complete pressure test on Region of Waterloo raw watermain.
3. Install joint restraints on raw watermain at John Street.
4. Install air blowoff on watermain at Union Street.

Warning: Residents are advised that in the coming weeks the restoration of surface works will begin and it will likely lead to long periods of time without vehicle access to your driveway. This is due to the time required for concrete to cure. Residents can walk on concrete after 24 hours, but cannot drive on it for 72 hours. Concrete restoration will start with curbs, then typically sidewalks a few days after that and driveways a few days after that. Roadway asphalt may be placed after curbs and before sidewalk and driveway concrete, depending on the contractor schedule. Due to the staggered nature of the placement of concrete, it means that one 72-hour period will not have passed prior to the next one starting.
