Caring for a newly planted tree

Hi there! My city has just planted (october 28) a balled and burlapped London Plane tree in front of my house. It is about 12-15 feet. What do I need to do to ensure its health? They left me a note to put a handful of 7-7-7 or 10-10-10 fertilizer in the spring but that is about it... They staked the tree and will remove the stakes in 1 year. Should I water it before the winter? When should I start watering it again in the spring? (I am in Toronto, Canada - zone 5). There is a irrigation system that waters the area the tree is in but the system has been blown out for the winter already. Should I water it on top of the sprinkers? Thanks in advance!
