About Public Works & Operations
The huge job of maintaining and expanding the Township of St. Clair’s transportation and utilities infrastructure falls to the Public Works Department. The pavement under our feet, the water in our glasses, the guidance of traffic signals – all of these services and more are the product of the great people in this department. Their objective is to deliver cost-effective public works infrastructure and services to the Township to meet both current and future needs.
The Public Works Department is divided into several functional units: an administrative arm, an Engineering Department and an Operations & Maintenance Division. The Operations and Maintenance Division has two public works garages, one just outside of Mooretown and one in Wilkesport.
Services provided by this department include water, sanitary and storm sewers, drainage, engineering, road maintenance, waste management, street lighting, sidewalks, and crossing guards.

Information Bulletin
“FB Remcon has been awarded the Hydro One Networks Inc. (HONI) St. Clair Transmission Line Project (the Project) which consists of a new double-circuit 230 kilovolt (kV) transmission line between the Lambton Transformer Station, located south of the city of Sarnia, and the Chatham Switching Station, which is immediately west of the community of Chatham-Kent. The Project is approximately 63 kilometres (km) in length and replaces an existing 115 kV line for much of its length. Implosive sleeves are used to splice conductors and secure dead ends of a transmission line and result in a “blast” noise. Implosive sleeve use can occur near the ground, as in splicing, or in the air near the top of structures when securing dead ends. FB Remcon’s land agent will consult with potentially impacted landowners at least 1 week prior to the commencement of blasting within their area. Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) will also be notified regularly throughout stringing operations. All landowners within 500 meters of a blasting site will be consulted immediately, prior to a blast being performed.”
