The work can range from minor curb or sidewalk repairs to extensive full road reconstruction projects. Major construction projects generally occur in the spring, summer and fall. You may experience traffic delays as a result of construction projects. Watermain Flushing Program The Town conducts watermain flushing, hydrant inspections and testing of municipally owned fire hydrants during the Spring/Fall maintenance program as well as flushing all hydrants located at dead-ends or cul-de-sacs on a regular schedule throughout the year. This preventative maintenance ensures an acceptable water quality is maintained in the watermains and the proper operation of fire hydrants. Residents may notice some cloudy or discolouration of their water when the Flushing Program occurs in their area. These temporary side effects are not hazardous and can be cleared up by simply opening the cold water taps of your home in order to clear the system. Street Sweeping The annual Spring Sweeping Program consists of sweeping all Town streets to remove sand and debris accumulated over the winter season. This helps to prevent materials from clogging the storm sewer collection system, improve water quality and the natural environment by removing pollutants that can be transferred to downstream water bodies through urban runoff. The Street Sweeping Program also improves the cleanliness and aesthetics of Town streets and parking lots as well as providing a safe and clean driving surface. Pavement Markings The Public Works crew applies pavement markings using a hand operated machine for painting yellow and white lane lines, stop bars, crosswalks and arrows. The Town now uses waterborne paint, which significantly reduces the chemicals released into the natural environment.
