Neighbourhood residents

We understand that rebuilding a street is a complex operation involving many companies and disrupting daily life. We therefore invite you to consult the practical information below. It is intended to provide you with advice on how to make your daily life as pleasant as possible.

Water analysis
Water samples will be taken by appointment to determine the concentration of lead present. The results of these analyses will then be communicated to the citizens concerned. If a concentration of lead is observed, the City will conduct additional investigations to assess the scope of the work to be carried out before the street is repaired.

Sewer connection inspection
Inspection visits will be carried out by appointment to assess the condition of the sewer connections between the residence and the main pipe located under the street. The results of these inspections will be shared with residents. If necessary, the portion of the connection located within the municipal right-of-way may be replaced.

Before starting, the contractor in charge of the work will carefully film the street and the facades of the houses. This video will serve as a template and will enable the driveways and property lines to be restored to their original condition before the work began.

If you think your private sewer or drinking water pipes, located between your home and the property line, have problems or are outdated, it may be time to replace them.

For more information or to schedule this work, contact the Urban Planning, Permits, and Inspection Department at 450-672-4444 or urbanisme@saint-lambert.ca.

If you want to change the layout of your curb and driveway, now is a good time to plan this work.

To plan this work, please contact the Urban Planning, Permits, and Inspection Department at 450-672-4444 or urbanisme@saint-lambert.ca. You will need the application form for the construction or modification of a driveway.

If you have an automatic sprinkler system running along the sidewalk, it is your responsibility to shut off the system and dig up your sprinkler heads and pipes within a 600 mm (2’) wide perimeter from the sidewalk before work begins. Sprinkler heads and pipes that are visible and damaged during the work will be repaired by the City. Systems that have not been dug up by the owner must be repaired by the owner at their own expense in the event of damage.

During the construction period, household waste, recycling bins, and brown bins must be placed at the curb before 5:30 a.m. on the morning of collection, as usual. The contractor will move them as needed.

When sidewalk reconstruction work is taking place in front of your residence, you will temporarily be unable to access your home by car.


This work generally takes ten business days. During this period, you will need to park your car on one of the neighboring streets.

Mail delivery is not the responsibility of the City of Saint-Lambert. Canada Post applies its own procedures. If the method of mail delivery needs to be changed during the work, Canada Post will notify you directly a few days in advance.

Once work begins, the street will be closed to traffic. Temporary signage will be installed to indicate the preferred detour route for motorists.

Local traffic will still be possible for residents affected by the work. However, access points to the street will vary depending on the progress of the work.

Before work begins, a company will install temporary drinking water pipes. These pipes will be placed at the front or back of your home and will be connected by a flexible hose to the outdoor water tap. Fire hydrants will also be connected by a 150 mm rigid pipe to ensure fire safety.

You must check that the water inlet valve on your property is working properly; this valve must be closed for the duration of the work.

If the company's technicians are unable to access your garden or backyard, you will receive instructions on how to connect the temporary drinking water supply to your home yourself.

During the work, the City of Saint-Lambert will implement increased surveillance around the work site.

Nevertheless, we urge parents to inform their children of the potential dangers posed by such major construction work and to ensure the safety of children in their neighborhood.
