How are the construction works affecting you?
During the work, cleaning and inspection vehicles will be present on the street. A street may be temporarily less accessible. You do not need to stay home.
To minimize disruption in your home, we recommend that you do the following during the work:
- keep the toilet lid closed and, if necessary, weigh it down;
- Cover shower drains and sinks with a wet cloth;
- Be sure to rinse out the sinks and shower drains thoroughly afterward;
- Do not park over a manhole.
In general, the work will take place between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Depending on the street, the work may last anywhere from one hour to a full workday.
Sewer Manhole in Your Yard
Some gardens have a sewer manhole. We ask residents to keep this manhole easily accessible and to temporarily remove any garden furniture, plants, or other objects.
