Contractor and Working Hours

• This work will be performed by Nelli Construction under contract to the Region of Peel.
• This contractor’s normal working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.� These hours are consistent with the local municipality’s bylaws.� We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but a shorter working day would mean the project would take longer to complete.

Traffic and Parking Control

• We may need to reduce traffic to a single lane during construction.�
• If we have to reroute traffic, we will place signs giving directions.
• On-street parking will be reduced during construction.

Driveway Access

• When digging the trench for the watermain or completing other construction activities, it may be necessary to block your driveway for a short time. If so, we will knock on your door to notify you.
• If a trench prevents access to your driveway, the contractor will have metal road plates available to allow immediate access if required.
• When the driveway is repaired, it is important to avoid driving on the new asphalt for the first three hours after it is laid, and to avoid parking on the new asphalt for one day.
• We will make sure businesses have access at all times.
• Please contact us if you have special needs related to access or business hours.

Irrigation or Sprinkler Systems

• Please contact us or tell the construction inspector onsite if you have underground irrigation or a sprinkler system outside your property line.�
• You may wish to move the sprinkler lines to inside your private property to avoid damage.

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.

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.
• For water interruption during service transfers, the contractor will notify you the day of the transfer as this will be a brief interruption. This will ensure proper notification for short duration works.
• 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.

Waste Collection

• Your garbage, recycling and organics containers will continue to be picked up on your regularly scheduled day.  It is the contractor’s responsibility to move your garbage, recycling and organics bins to a location where our collection vehicles can pick them up.  Empty containers will be returned to their corresponding addresses. Please make sure your house number is clearly marked on each bin.

Vibrations

• You may feel slight vibrations from the construction work.�

Replacing and Taking Care of Your Sod

• The contractor will take care of any sod we replace for 30 days.
• You can help the sod to stay healthy by watering it for one hour in the early morning, two or three times a week.� This is especially important in hot or dry weather.
• We will replace your sod as soon as we can, but there may be a short delay.
• It is very common for the work area to settle a bit following construction. If you notice any settlement, please contact us and we will ensure the contractor fixes it.

Repairing Your Driveway

• If we need to cut your driveway to replace the existing service valve or access the watermain, the driveway will be repaired by paving a stripe over the disturbed area, resulting in minimal seams in the final driveway. The Region cannot completely replace your entire driveway. If you decide to have your entire driveway repaved, this extra paving work is your responsibility and outside the jurisdiction of the Region of Peel.
• We will repair your driveway as soon as we can, but there may be a short delay.
• If you have any concerns, please contact us.

Repairing the Road, Curbs, and Sidewalks

• We will start restoring the road and boulevard once all replacements and service transfers are complete and as weather permits.
• We will complete the restoration on a street-by-street basis.

Safety during construction

• Construction zones require extra caution to keep everyone safe – pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and construction workers. When driving, walking, or biking through the construction area, please be aware of your surroundings, watch for construction crews and other road users, slow down, account for delays, and consider other routes if possible.

• 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 contact us if you have any concerns or special needs.
