Paris Sanitary Sewer Maintenance - July 3 to July 7 

 

Paris Sanitary Sewer Maintenance - July 3 to July 7

The County of Brant will be conducting routine inspection and maintenance work on the Paris Sanitary Sewer System in the following area:

  • Monk Street

The work is scheduled to take place during the day Thursday, July 3, Friday, July 4, and Monday, July 7, between the hours of 7:00 am and 5:00 pm.

This routine maintenance work involves high pressure cleaning of the sanitary sewers in the roadway followed by a video inspection of the pipes. The cleaning activities can result in sufficient back pressure that may cause splashing in some plumbing fixtures and may remove water from the “P” traps in your plumbing fixtures.

We recommend that:

  • All toilet seats are left in a closed position during this time.
  • You refrain from using toilets when maintenance vehicles are present near your location.
  • You run water in all plumbing fixtures (minimum of 5 seconds) when work has been completed to ensure the “P” traps are full.

It is our goal to minimize any inconvenience to our residents. Your patience through any disruption will be greatly appreciated. Once the maintenance vehicles have completed the work in your area, you may resume using your facilities as usual.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Aqua Tech Solutions Inc. at 289.383.5951. If Aqua Tech Solutions Inc is not available, you may contact the County of Brant Environmental Services Division at 1.855.442.7268 or 519.442.7268.
