The contractor will notify residents by a hand - delivered notice 24 hours prior, to the start of the cleaning operation on the street. The work will be carried out expeditiously with the least possible inconvenience to residents. Water will not be shut off so residents are cautioned not to draw any water, for any purpose, until the cleaning operation in that section is completed. Failure to observe this precaution could result in material being drawn into the building's plumbing system and possibly plugging the water line from the street to buildings. Once the cleaning operation is complete, (note the finish time on the hand delivered notice), we would ask that you turn on a cold water tap only and let it run for approximately three to five minutes before using hot water. It is advisable that you keep a supply of water, in containers, on hand for drinking, cooking and general purposes during this cleaning procedure. For further information on the work in Bowmanville please contact Eric Lamain, Region of Durham Works Department at (905)-260-0912 or the Orono Depot at (905)-983-5116. Thank you for your patience and co-operation. Durham Region Works Department Bwmimmmmmmmmmmmmmmmsmmm V
