Reconstruction Of Ellice Street From Clifton Street To Wychwood Crescent In Fenelon Falls To Start Next Week

KAWARTHA LAKES-The City of Kawartha Lakes says it will be starting a reconstruction project on Ellice Street in Fenelon Falls from Clifton Street to Wychwood Crescent on Monday April 15, 2024, weather permitting.

The scope of the project is to install new underground infrastructure (storm sewer, sanitary sewer and watermain), new sidewalks, curbs and a new roadway on Ellice Street.

The contractor for the project is Green Infrastructure Partners Inc. (GIP).

The work is expected to start on April 15, 2024 and it is anticipated to be completed in October 2024. Working hours are expected to be 7am to 6pm Monday through Friday, with occasional Saturday work if time is lost due to inclement weather or other factors.

Additional information for residents and business owners in the area:

  • Pedestrian access to all buildings will be maintained throughout the project.
  • You will be given advance notice should access to your building or property need to be limited. Disruptions will be kept to a minimum but they will sometimes be unavoidable due to the nature of the project.
  • Since part of the project is to replace the watermain, a temporary water delivery system will be in place and water will be supplied to all homes or businesses in the area via an overland system through outside taps. If you do not have a functional outside tap, please contact staff listed below. They will arrange to have one installed at no charge to the home or business owner. Please note that a plumbing contractor will require access to your building for installation of the outside tap.
  • Due to the nature of the work and possibility of vibrations from construction equipment, a building and structure survey will be completed by Premises Inspections for all buildings within the construction area. The survey includes an interior and exterior inspection. There is no cost to residents or business owners, and all inspectors will carry photo identification.
  • Please use caution when driving or walking through the construction site and be aware that heavy construction equipment will be operating on-site. To make sure you are visible to equipment operators, try to get in the habit of making eye contact with the operators as you are walking or driving near them.
