Construction Notice - Highland Drive Re-Lining Watermain

Crews from Fer-Pal Incorporated will be working to complete the re-lining of the existing watermain on Highland Drive from Princes Street North to McLeod Avenue.

The anticipated work period begins Monday, May 6^th through to Monday, July 22^nd, 2024.

Residents in this area need to know that:

• A temporary water system will need to be set-up.
• The system runs above ground and the temporary watermain will likely cross the front of your property including your lawn and driveway.
• The temporary watermain will be immovable.
• Where it crosses your driveway, crews will cover the temporary line with gravel to allow you to drive over it and access your property.
• Because it’s above ground, the temporary watermain may warm up in the sunshine, meaning you may experience a brief amount of warmer water through your taps when they’re first turned on.
• We recommend running your taps before using the flow to ensure cold, fresh water is coming through.
• The temporary main meets all requirements set out in the Ontario Regulations and Safe Drinking Water and the quality will be safe throughout the project.
• During the end of the project, there will be some water disruptions as final connections are made. Residents will be provided with door-to-door notices in advance of this.

If you have any questions about the re-lining of the Highland Drive watermain, please contact our Environmental Services division at 519-396-4660.
