Custom Work

Custom Work & Service Rates

The Village of Borden offers a limited range of custom work and services to residents when equipment, staff availability, and operational priorities allow.

These services are intended to support residents with minor, non-emergency tasks and are provided at Council-approved rates to recover municipal costs. Custom work is secondary to core municipal responsibilities and may not always be immediately available.


What Is Custom Work?

Custom work refers to services provided by the Village using municipal equipment and staff outside of regular municipal operations, such as:

  • Driveway snow clearing

  • Gravel hauling or placement

  • Sanding

  • Water hauling (where applicable)

  • Property-related services listed in the rate table below

Availability depends on weather conditions, staffing, equipment scheduling, and municipal priorities.

Residents are encouraged to contact the Village Office in advance to confirm availability, pricing, and scheduling.
