OZA Inspections Ltd. has been hired by our contractor to complete internal and external condition surveys of the residences within the project limits. The purpose of these inspections is to photograph and note the condition of the existing structure, i.e. cracking or displacement in walls, plaster, floors, patios, etc. This is to protect both the homeowners and the contractor in the case of any damage, actual or purported caused by construction, though damage this is very rare and unlikely. An OZA representative will be coming to your home to schedule the survey. Note that these inspections, internal and/or external, are free and completely optional, at the discretion of the homeowner.

Utilities, such as Union Gas, Hydro and Bell Canada, have already started to locate their existing infrastructure to prepare for this construction. Residents will see various coloured paint marks and flags on their lawn and roadway. These are noting the location of various underground utilities, i.e. gas (yellow), hydro (red) water (blue), etc. Please do not remove these marker stakes or paint markings. Staff will return to remove them once the project is complete.

Water and wastewater disruptions

There will be disruption to your water service during the course of the project. Halton Region will provide at least 48 hours advance written notice of all scheduled shutdowns or disruptions.

Watermain installation and tie-in work may be required to take place at night. Advance notification will be provided.

Wastewater works

The contractor may ask you to restrict your water usage at specific times during the course of construction. This will last for a limited amount of time while they rehabilitate and/or replace your lateral.

Access to your home 

During normal construction hours (Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.) vehicle access to and from your properties may be difficult. Driveways will be temporarily closed when work is being carried out in the immediate area. Either the inspector or the contractor will notify you of access interruptions before the closure.

Driveway impacts

During replacement of existing curb and sidewalk, and the installation of services and laterals, portions of existing driveways will require replacement. These driveways will be replaced full width to the limit of disturbance.

Road closures/Lane restrictions 

Lane restrictions and short-term road closures will be in place at times during construction. You will still have access to your home. Additional information will be provided during construction.

For the duration of construction, enforcement of the “5-hour” maximum on-street parking by-law will be relaxed when your driveway is inaccessible or closed. Residents are asked to register their vehicle online at www.burlington.ca/parking or call 905-335-7816 Monday to Friday 8:30 to 4:30 p.m.

Vehicles are not permitted to park where signs are posted. (e.g. No Parking, No Stopping, and Fire Route etc.)  In addition, vehicles are not to block fire hydrants, driveway access or park their vehicles facing the wrong direction.  

How does a parking exemption work?

• It allows a vehicle to park on the street beyond the five-hour limit or overnight between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m., up to 15 days per calendar year, per licence plate.
• The only two parking offences waived AFTER a vehicle is registered for a parking exemption are:
  1. Park exceeding five-hour limit
  2. Park between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m.
• All other parking offences apply as they are not part of the parking exemption program.

During City construction projects, the extra days will not be included in the 15-day-per-year limit when your driveway is not accessible. However, it is important to register your vehicle for this program so that you will not receive a parking ticket.

Please continue to put your garbage and recycling out on the usual day. It is the contractor’s responsibility to move your garbage and recycling to a location that can be accessed by the garbage truck and return your garbage/recycling containers. To help the contractor, we ask that you mark your house number on your bins.

If you have a lawn irrigation system where curb and sidewalk are to be replaced or installed, we request that you flag all irrigation heads, to help avoid damage. The City is not responsible for damaged heads within the road allowance. This does not have to be done until work in your area is scheduled.

You may at times experience minor vibration from construction equipment. We recommend that you remove small, light objects from shelving around the house.

Tree protection barriers will be erected around all trees in the right-of-way and in front of adjacent private trees within the construction limits, with an opening to allow homeowner access to maintain the area within.

There may be boulevard trees removed due to conflict with the installation of the new water and wastewater mains and services, as well as other unforeseen circumstances. If a conflict arises, alternate installation locations and methods will be reviewed in depth, but tree removals may be unavoidable. Homeowners adjacent to these removals will be informed prior to removal.

Due to reduced access through the site during construction, school bussing routes may require modification. The service provider will provide additional information. Coordination will be made to ensure safe pick-up locations are maintained.

Due to access concerns regarding door-to-door mail delivery, temporary single-point mail pick-up location(s) will be coordinated by Canada Post.
