This week our team will also be working on Walker’s line prepping the first 1000m of area from Derry Road heading south. As required by Ontario Law we must locate other underground utilities first and expose them to prevent damage. You may see several holes along the road shoulder and grass areas these holes will be fenced and secured but we do ask that the public stay away from the work areas for everyone’s safety.
