Each water shut-off is expected to take place between 7:00am and 7:00pm.

All the water service disruptions are scheduled to take place within the time window mentioned above. However, it is possible that unforeseen complications during the planned work may extend the duration of the disruption beyond the anticipated timeframe.

After the water supply is restored, run the taps until the water is clear.

• Have them placed outside by 7:00 a.m. on collection days.

The Contractor will also coordinate access for private waste collection services, where applicable.
