CONSTRUCTION UPDATE --
Active construction will recommence on our site next week starting with the completion of the new water line and start of the storm water drainage system installation. The waterline work will begin on Monday, with the tie-in to the to the city water main on Grove Meadow Drive on Tuesday. On Tuesday there will be an interruption of water supply to the building for a couple of hours in the afternoon, likely right after the lunch hour. We will be bringing in a portable water tank to supply the water needs, however it will be of limited capacity.
The storm water system will begin on Wednesday and will include significant excavations for installation of the new manholes and catch basins. During this work access to the site may be restricted to a single entrance and exit and parking designated to areas away from the work areas.
We will endeavor to provide updates daily of the progress and timing of work.
Thanks for your patience and prayers
