Construction Schedule

The construction is anticipated to start early to mid-July, with completion planned for early to mid-December 2025.

Information for Homeowners

Driveway Access and On-Street Parking

The contractor is required to maintain access to all homes during construction. There will be occasions when you may experience delays, a lack of service, and inconvenience. The contractor will make every effort to minimize these occurrences and communicate when they are to occur.

We do ask that you refrain from parking on the street during construction activities, as this can delay things and prolong the construction period.

Sanitary Sewer Servicing
The replacement of the sanitary sewer is being completed as part of this project.  This will also will include the replacement of the sanitary services from the main sewer to one meter past your property lines.  You should experience no interruptions with your sanitary service during the project.

Watermain Servicing
The replacement of the watermain is being completed as part of the project. Your existing water service will be connected at the property line to a new service from the watermain.  The contractor will notify you of any interruptions to your water supply that will be required to complete this work.

The contractor may need to provide a temporary water system. In this case, the temporary watermain system will be installed and tested to the same standards of Norfolk County as permanent installations. The temporary distribution system will be connected to your existing service.  This temporary system will allow for the contractor to complete the project efficiently and safely while maintaining water supply to you.

Any disruption during the connection of your water service to the temporary system or to the new permanent system should be minimal.  There will need to be interruptions of longer duration to allow for the main line connections of the new system to the existing system.  You will be notified in advance of these interruptions and provided with some indication of the anticipated duration.

Storm Sewer Servicing
A new stormwater collection system is being completed as part of this project to provide drainage for the new roadway.  Storm services to each property will not be provided by this system.

Sidewalk
The existing sidewalk on the west side of East Street from William Street to Ann Street will be replaced at a width of 1.8m adjacent to the back of curb.

A new sidewalk will be installed on the east side of East Street from Ann Street to Imperial Street at a width of 1.8m adjacent to the back of curb.

A new sidewalk will be installed on the south side of Ann Street from East Street to James Street (Hwy 3) at a width of 1.5m adjacent to the back of curb.

The installation of new sidewalks will provide connectivity of the sidewalk network and walkability for the community.

Curb and Gutter

New mountable (low back) curb & gutter will be installed on each side of the street for the length of the project.  

Garage and Recycling
The Contractor is required to maintain the pickup of garbage bags, garbage containers and recycling boxes left at the curbside from abutting residential or commercial properties within the limits of construction.

This may include the picking up of bags, containers and recycling boxes and placing them at a location convenient for pick up by County contractor.  If this is required, empty garbage containers and recycling boxes shall be returned to the respective property owners on the same day.

Please clearly mark all containers and recycling boxes with your address so that they may be returned to the correct location. All regularly scheduled garbage and recycling pickups shall be maintained regardless of whether the Contractor is working on that day.

Lawn Sprinkler Systems
The installation of lawn sprinklers on municipal property is not allowed.  We ask that if you have an underground lawn sprinkler system that is on the municipal road allowance, that you please have these removed or marked prior to construction.  Norfolk County will not be responsible for any damage to lawn sprinkler system which are on Norfolk County property.

Tree Removals
With every construction project comes the removal of some trees for various reasons. Some are at the end of their life span, while others have water and sanitary services within the root areas that would be damaged by construction. Trees deemed to present a hazard or are in conflict with construction activities will be removed as part of this project. Norfolk County will evaluate the potential for appropriate tree planting opportunities after construction is complete.

During the construction of this project, it is our intention to minimize the impact on your everyday life.  If any special needs or requirements routinely occur during a day or week, we need to be made aware of them in order that the necessary arrangements can be made so that these needs can continue to be met during construction.
