Pre-Construction Survey

Property owners directly adjacent to the work areas will be contacted shortly by Englobe to complete a pre-construction survey on your property at no cost. The purpose of the survey is to obtain video and photo records of the existing condition of buildings and other features near the construction zone. This information would then be available for reference in the unlikely event that damage is caused during construction. 

Temporary Water Supply

A temporary potable water supply will be installed during the replacement of the watermain to service all affected properties. This will consist of an aboveground system connected to an outdoor hose bib at each property. A representative from Cornwall Gravel Co. Ltd. will review the house connection with the property owner prior to construction. Please contact the Contractor at their emergency number 613- 932-6571 should any issue arise with the temporary potable water supply.  

A precautionary boil water advisory will be issued for properties connected to the temporary water supply in case of unplanned breaks in the temporary water supply.

Water Shutdowns

Daytime temporary water shutdowns will be required as part of the watermain replacement work and are expected to last less than four (4) hours. The Contractor will be responsible to coordinate with the impacted owners at least 24 hours in advance. Once the water is restored, please let your water run until it becomes clear.

Water shutdowns impacting the entire core of the village of L’Orignal will also be required as part of the watermain work. These shutdowns will be done overnight to minimize impacts to the residents and businesses and will be published on the Township’s website and social media in due course.

Traffic Control & Driveway Closures

Road closures will be required to allow for construction. Temporary traffic signs and/or detour signs will be posted as required. Likewise, driveways will need to be closed temporarily as the work progresses. The Contractor will be responsible to coordinate driveway closures with residents impacted by this work. During such time, we recommend parking your vehicles along the side streets.

Safety

We ask for your cooperation in ensuring a safe construction site. More specifically, please do not exceed posted speed limits and follow temporary traffic signage.

We apologize for this inconvenience and would like to thank you in advance for your patience.
