Working hours
- Our Contractors normal working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. These hours are consistent with the local municipalitys bylaws. We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but a shorter working day would mean the project would take longer to complete.
Traffic control
- Indian Road will have flag persons to direct traffic around the work area.
Trimming trees
- If tree branches within the right-of-way interfere with construction, the Contractor will have the trees pruned before equipment enters the drip line of the tree.
- If tree branches on private property interfere with construction, they will be pruned back to the nearest suitable trunk, crotch or branch.
- The Contractor will ask you for permission before cutting any branches on private property. If you do not allow the Contractor onto your property to trim the branches, the branches will be cut vertically at the property line.
Vibrations
You may feel slight vibrations from the construction work.
Interrupting Your Water Supply
- It is our goal to let you know 48 hours (2 days) in advance if we need to shut off your water. Occasionally, we may have to reduce this notice to 24 hours.
- If we have to shut off your water because of an emergency, we will do everything we can to fix the problem as quickly as possible.
Replacing and Taking Care of Your Sod
- We will replace any damaged sod as soon as we can.
- Our contractor will take care of the new sod for the first 30 days after its laid down. After that, you can help the sod stay healthy by watering it early in the morning two or three (2-3) times a week, especially in hot weather.
- It is very common for the work area to settle a bit after construction. If you notice any settlement, please let the project manager or inspector know and we will ensure the contractor fixes it.
Repairing the Road, Curbs, and Sidewalks
- We will start restoring the road, sidewalk and boulevard once all watermain work and connections are complete and as weather permits.
Questions or concerns?
- The Region of Peel will always let you know if there are any major changes to the plans.
- We will try to disturb you as little as possible.
- Please call the Project Manager, Ambassador, or Inspector if you have any concerns or special needs.
