Seasonal load restrictions
The reduced load period in Springwater starts March 1 and continues until April 30. By-law 2009-079 restricts loads on most Township roads to 5 tonnes per axle. The imposed weight restriction helps protect the structural integrity of our roads during spring thaw, when road damage is most likely to occur.

Excess load/size permits |
|
An excess load permit allows companies to move oversized loads on Township of Springwater roads that exceed the Ministry of Transportation accepted limits by height, length, width or weight. Submit an excess load application form with the fee to the Public Works department. |
Entrance permits
Any new or revised entrance to a road requires an entrance permit prior to construction. Township permits cost $109.50 per entrance.
- Entrance permit application for Township roads

Depending on where the road is, you may need to apply for an entrance permit for County roads or an entrance permit for provincial highways through the Ministry of Transportation.
