The City of Hamilton Building Division's disconnection of services form, circulated for department and utility sign-off ahead of a demolition. Its approval grid carries a line for each authority — Hamilton Emergency Services fire inspection, water service, sewer lateral, Enbridge Gas, Union Energy/Reliance Home Comfort, Bell Canada, the electricity provider and Forestry — each with a contact. Later pages set out abandoned water service steps under Waterworks By-law R84-026 and the sewer lateral paths of abandonment or demonstrated re-use, with video inspection, under Sewer and Drain By-law 23-234.
