Work planned in your neighbourhood?
Here is what you should know.
Damage
If your property has been damaged, as a result of work performed by the Municipality, please contact the Public Works Department for repairs.
Fill (dirt/soil)
The Municipality offers free delivery of fill when a delivery location is near the work site.
If you wish to receive fill, please send your request to the Public Works Department.
Entrance culvert
The culvert in a driveway is private, and therefore belongs to the property owner. It represents a means of access between your property and public property.
If the Municipality is performing ditching work on your road and your culvert needs to be replaced, the Municipality will install the new culvert in accordance with the following cost allocation:
- Equipment and gravel at the expense of the Municipality.
- The cost of the culvert will be added to your tax bill.
If your culvert needs replacing but the Municipality is not performing any ditching work on your property, the costs associated with the replacement are the sole responsibility of the owner.
Road width (municipal right-of-way)
It is important to know that property (road) belonging to the Municipality is always a bit wider than the road itself.
In general, ditches, signs, hydro poles and fire hydrants are located on municipal property.
For example, the width of the ditch in front of your property belongs to the Municipality. The Municipality is therefore generally entitled to perform work in the ditch, since it is a municipal right-of-way.
Work schedule
The work schedule of the public works team on any given site is from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Safety and signage
It is important to respect the signage in place, as well as the municipal workers.
Don't forget that beyond the inconveniences that may be caused by road work, municipal employees work towards maintaining the Municipality, and at the end of the day, their respective families are also waiting for them at home!
Please slow down and be courteous.
