Many have asked or wondered, why does a project such as this take so long…. the answer is
shown in the photos above. The work does not consist of merely putting pipe in the ground
but also connecting the existing water and sanitary services to the new sewer and water at the
lot lines.

Despite the challenges, QBT have accomplished in advancing to House #10, this week.
It is expected they will be in the immediate proximity of the Post Office by June 13th.
We would like to remind all that there is no vehicular access to the Post Office, however
parking is available on Oak Street as well as George Street West. Do NOT drive beyond the
Road Closed signs.

There is a Truck Spotter who guides the trucks when backing across the intersection of Oak and
George Streets into the construction zone. These trucks have a large blind spot behind them
and will sound their sound just prior to backing. For everyone’s safety please follow any
guidance provided by the Spotter.
