| What do I do about my valuables during construction with and any vibration caused from heavy machinery? |
Protect valuables:Use of heavy equipment during construction can cause vibration. Please ensure that you have protected any valuables susceptible to damage. |
| What do I do about my privately owned lawn-watering systems, landscaping and fencing? |
Property owners who have privately owned lawn-watering systems, ornamental landscaping, and/or fencing on the road allowance may be required, at their own expense, to remove and re-install these items onto their own property. This requirement does not apply to fences that will be replaced with noise barriers. Please contact the consultant's Project Manager to determine if you have any items that may require relocation or removal prior to construction. |
| Should I expect an interruption in my water service? |
Connection of the new watermain to the existing system will result in potential service disruptions. Residents and business owners will receive a minimum of 24 hours advance notice of scheduled construction work that affects your normal water supply. |

What will happen with my garbage and recycling during construction?
|
The City and the Contractor will make every effort to maintain garbage and Blue Box collection operations during the construction. The Contractor will assist in collecting and transporting garbage and recycling if your pick-up point is blocked by construction. We recommend that you clearly label your containers with your name and address. For further information on your garbage and Blue Box service, please call the City of London at 519-661-2500 ext. 4585. |
| Will there be an interruption in access to my driveway during construction? |
Yes, there will be minor delays from time to time during construction for underground service installations and concrete curing. Driveway access will be maintained to the extent possible. |
| What will happen with the boulevards after construction? |
Either seed or sod will be used to reinstate boulevards and other grassed areas affected by the construction operation. To ensure sodded areas have established a strong and healthy root system, the City's contract requires the Contractor to water and maintain the newly placed sod for 60 days following placement. During this 60 day maintenance period, the City is asking property owners to participate in the watering process to encourage growth.
At the end of the 60 day period, all turf maintenance and watering of newly placed sod reverts back to the individual property owner as it was prior to construction. Once maintenance transfers back to the property owner, the City is unable to respond to any concerns regarding the failure of the restored areas to flourish as a result of the lack of watering. We remind you that the normal watering restrictions do not apply to newly seeded or sodded areas. For tips on lawn care, the City offers information on its internet web site at: www.lawncare.london.ca
