NUMBER COLLEGE Physical Resources UrUMI ti WATERMAIN REPLACEMENT- NORTH CAMPUS

A contract has recently been awarded to Pilen Construction of Feb. 1993 Canada Ltd. to carry out the replacement of major sections of 5, North Campus watermains. Budget considerations have reduced the original Scope of Work, resulting in deletion of work through most of Reserved Lot #12, BISC Lot, along the west side of the Day Care Centre, and across Humber College Blvd. at Entry #5.

We continue to be confident that parking space temporarily displaced can be accommodated on Campus, and hope that the need to utilize the off- Campus pa.king site to offset these losses will not occur.

Traffic flow on certain road and parking lot sec- tions will be impeded along the watermain route, as illustrated on the accompan3dng plan. As such, we continue to urge you to drive with extra caution around construction areas and allow additional time to arrive at your Campus destination.

We anticipate construction to start February 9th, along the back of the Campus, and will provide HUMBER COLLEGE BLVD. additional details as they become available. <)S.oZ-o5 Questions may be directed to John Hooiveld, Sup't.
