Businesses are advised that starting in the next few days a representative from Lighting and Traffic Systems Limited may need to access and inspect the electrical panel grounding from your business. This inspection work is required to determine what modifications to the electrical grounding connection will have to be made to accommodate the new PVC water main laterals being installed to your business to replace the older existing water main laterals.

The City of St. John's thanks you for your co-operation on this matter and apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
