Notice of Project Commencement : Pamela Drive Watermain Replacement

Please be advised that the City’s retained contractor, Demar Construction, will be starting the Pamela Drive Watermain Replacement Project between Lawrence Drive and Sullivan Avenue in the coming weeks.

As part of this construction work, Pre-Con Inspection Services Inc. will first need to complete a pre-construction survey and inspection of residents’ properties to document the current condition of homes before construction begins.

Inspectors will be going door-to-door and will need access to the basement, interior foundation and windows to take photographs of the existing conditions. Inspectors will have valid identification with them.

Residents are encouraged to allow the inspection to be completed. If a resident declines the inspection, the ability to substantiate a claim for damage resulting from the construction may be affected. If the inspection is completed and damage is subsequently identified as a result of the construction, the contractor will be responsible for addressing the damage at no cost to the resident.

The project involves the installation of new watermain pipes connecting to the existing watermains located at Sullivan Avenue and Lawrence Drive. The construction work will also include the replacement of water valves, fire hydrants, main stops, curb stops and service reconnections, as well as trench and surface restoration.

The primary goal of this project is to provide new water infrastructure along Pamela Drive, helping to ensure a reliable water supply for Thorold residents, improve watermain efficiency, reduce watermain breaks and adequately service the surrounding area.
