City staff have advised that construction on the Oakhill and Corona integrated renewal project is progressing smoothly. The contractor has applied for a noise exemption to allow for night work on May 22 from 7 pm to 3 am to isolate a watermain on Beechwood, from north of Oakhill to Marquette, in order to make the temporary water connections on Oakhill. Addresses that will be impacted by a water outage during this time will be notified.
Night work:
- At Oakhill/Acacia, Drinking Water Services staff will make the temporary water connection to the Oakhill watermain - this work will be completed before 10 pm.
- At Oakhill/Beechwood, once staff turn off the water, the contractor will start excavation, which will include rock excavation – this is expected to be completed before 10 pm. After 10 pm at Oakhill/Beechwood, staff will make the temporary watermain connection and the contractor will backfill the excavation. Work at this location is expected to be completed before 3 am.
