Beginning the week of August 3, Halifax Water and its contractor, ARCP Limited, will be upgrading the stormwater system in the areas of Thistle Street and Maple Street shown on the attached map. Typical hours of work will be Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. This project is expected to be complete approximately eight weeks from the start date.
This project will require rolling road closures within this work area as crews install new stormwater infrastructure. Local access will be maintained in this area, but driveway access may be limited as work progresses through the area. Crews will communicate with residents if driveway access will be impacted.
Related Traffic Advisories:
During this project, from time to time, you will see workers within 2 metres of each other while they work to maintain the critical water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure serving your home. Halifax Water is still mindful of the recommendations to maintain a 2 metre distance between employees and contractors, and every effort will be made to achieve this. However, some tasks cannot be completed safely otherwise. As an essential service, in these instances, Halifax Water and its contractors have been exempt from the 2 metre social/physical distancing rules. Halifax Water and its contractors will use additional PPE to protect themselves when undertaking these activities.
We ask that residents please ensure they give construction crews at least 2 metres of distancing as well.
