Construction Impacts
Update: October 29, 2026
Tie-in work will begin on November 3, requiring overnight work and water shutdowns. Businesses and residents will be notified via letter in advance of when the water shutdown for their building will take place.
Overnight work:
- Dates: November 3 to 17
- Work Hours: 8:00 pm – 7:00 am
The work is expected to have a moderate noise impact. Water main tie-ins, work includes pipe cutting, fitting installation, valve operation, and associated pumping and excavation as required. Noise will be reduced by completing preparatory work during daytime hours, minimizing equipment idling, and positioning equipment away from residences where feasible.
