WATER AND SEWER INSTALLATION UPDATE

The water and sewer lines and the boxes to all the individual cabins are completely installed now and the contractors have gone. They were able to complete this part of the project a bit earlier than originally expected. They will be back in early spring, as soon as the frost is out of the ground, to pressure test the lines and to finish the cleanup. Cabin owners can begin hooking up to the boxes, however the water is turned off now until spring.

The isolation project of the above ground water pipes at the Kitchen Shelters has been completed by Park staff. This project allows the lengthening of the fall season for cabin owners by providing for exposed standpipes to be shut off due to frost and leave some washrooms open longer.

Dwight McMillan from The Park has received many questions this past week on the location of the boxes. Cabin owners are wondering why the box was placed on their leasehold and not on the property line which they share with their neighbor. The surveyors who recently conducted the survey placed pins in each corner of the lots. If the boxes had been placed on the property lines, approximately 275 pins would have been removed. Then we would have had to get the surveyors back to install these pins again, thus adding an additional cost to the project.

The roads will be plowed this winter as required to accommodate all the cabin construction that is taking place. The plan is to have the street resurfacing done in the fall of 2014.
