The Township is preparing to start construction on a new sanitary sewer within an easement between Walnut Street and Campanale Way. This letter provides details about the project and important information on how the project may impact you.
Project Details
Location – A trunk sanitary sewer is being replaced within an existing easement between Walnut Street and Campanale Way. The civil contractor is Birnam Excavating Ltd. and the engineering consultant is Dillon Consulting Limited.
Scope – Complete sanitary trunk sewer replacement including tree removals, clearing and grubbing and restoration. Restoration will be a combination of topsoil, sod and/or hydroseed, landscaping (bushes/trees) as well as the restoration of the Benn Municipal Drain. The pedestrian pathway located at the rear of the homes between Campanale Way and Walnut Street may be impacted but a full closure for the duration of construction is not anticipated. Road closures on Walnut and Campanale at the tie-in locations are anticipated but expected to be short duration (24 to 48 hours).
Dillon Consulting will be providing full time inspection on-site during the length of the project construction.
Schedule – The tentative schedule from the contractor is to mobilize the week of April 13th starting with tree removals and installation of silt and construction fencing with underground work starting the week of April 20th. The project is expected to go until late May/early June.
There is no work anticipated before 7:00am or after 6:00pm for any weekends or holidays except for the final tie-in which will happen during the evening, after 9pm. The final tie-in is expected to take approximately 4 hours to complete.
Traffic Impacts – There will be considerable disruption within the sewer easement but the impact to traffic on Walnut and Campanale is anticipated to be minimal outside of the tie-ins. There will be periods of time and/or days where laneway access may be limited. Property Owners/Residents will be notified regarding specific details during these times.
Service Interruption – We do not anticipate any significant service disruptions with this project. If a service interruption ends up being required, the contractor will provide 24 notice to affected property owners prior to this happening.
