The passing of a bylaw to construct the works described below as a Local Improvement allows the City of Ottawa to specially assess a part of the cost upon the land abutting directly on the work.
Description of work: All works associated with the extension of the existing public sanitary sewer to and/or within the limits of the existing public road allowance of Taunton Place (approximately 135 metres), inclusive of pump stations, forcemains, easements, gravity sewer mains, maintenance holes, private service laterals to the property lot line, and all associated appurtenances, as required.
The estimated life of the works is in excess of fifty (50) years.
The estimated total cost share of $720,000 that the project report will recommend, related to providing Local Improvement sanitary sewer infrastructure to and within Taunton Place, is detailed below:
| Local Improvement Total Cost Estimate | Estimated City Share of Local Improvement Costs | Estimated Private Property Share of Local Improvement Costs (Sewer Mains) | Estimated Private Property Share of Local Improvement Costs (Sewer Service Laterals) |

Should Council pass a bylaw to undertake the work described above as a Local Improvement, the charges associated with the Local Improvement will be confirmed through the Committee of Revision process as prescribed by Ontario Regulation 586/06 following completion of construction. Notice of the Committee of Revision meeting date will be provided to owners to be specially charged in the petition area.
