Notice date: June 2nd, 2026
About the project
The City of Guelph is exploring options to address infrastructure upgrades required in William Street, Empire Street, Stevenson Street and Industrial Street. This
includes upgrades to sanitary sewers, storm sewers, and stormwater management facilities.
The preliminary design requires information about the soil and groundwater to be collected. The work is being completed by Englobe Consultants. This process requires a small drill rig to install monitoring wells along William Street and Industrial Street. Blue drums may be present on site near the monitoring well locations for a period of approximately one week. These contain the soil and water from the drilled holes and will be collected upon completion of the works. All monitoring well locations are located on City property, within the road or on private City lands.
Field work schedule
Monitoring wells will be installed between June 8th and 10th. The duration of work at each location is not anticipated to exceed 1 day.
Lane Reductions
Localized lane reductions may be required at each monitoring well location while work is being completed.
Driveway Access
Access to select driveways may be temporarily impacted by the construction equipment or traffic cones. In these instances, the contractor will work with impacted residents to temporarily permit access to/from the driveway, if possible. In some locations, drivers may be required to utilize street parking for the duration
of the drilling (approximately 4 hours).
City Services
There will be no interruption to any City services. Waste collection will not be affected. Please continue to place your green, blue and grey carts at the curb, as per your regular schedule.
