Spring maintenance operations

In recent weeks, due to the milder temperatures, City of Pointe-Claire has begun its spring maintenance operations. 

Potholes 

Our crews are working hard to repair streets that were damaged this winter. Temperature variations and thawing can cause damage and lead to potholes. 

To report a pothole, submit a request via our Online Requests webpage.  

Street and sidewalk cleaning 

Street and sidewalk cleaning operations have been underway since last week. The purpose of this cleaning operation is to remove dirt and debris that has accumulated over the winter using a mechanical sweeper or other equipment. 

Flushing of the water system 

From April 15 to July 30, the water system in the entire territory of the City will be flushed, with work taking place from Sunday to Friday, between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. This annual maintenance operation flushes out naturally occurring water mineral deposits from the interior walls of pipes. 

This operation is carried out sector by sector. A notice will be hung on your door a few days before the start of the work to inform you of its commencement.  

Here are a few recommendations: 

  • Avoid washing your clothes or dishes between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. 
  • If your water is cloudy or discoloured, run the cold water until the water is clear again. 
  • If your clothes are stained by cloudy or discoloured water, you can pick up an easy-to-use cleaning product at City Hall (451 Saint-Jean Boulevard). 

To facilitate these operations, the City would ask residents to avoid parking their vehicles on the street.
