By Announcement, Resources, Ward 1

Do you or someone you know have trouble clearing the snow at the end of the driveway?

Although you’re feeling the heat, the snowy season is right around the corner, Mississauga. Despite last winter’s milder weather, winter in Mississauga usually brings heavy snowfall and significant storms. Preparing for this unpredictable season is important. Registration for the City of Mississauga’s Driveway Windrow Snow Clearing Program is now open until Friday, November 1 for those who need help clearing their windrow. The program supports Mississauga residents who are 65 years old and older and persons with physical disabilities.A windrow is a pile of snow that can be left at the end of a driveway after a street has been plowed. Within 36 hours after the end of a snow storm, registered participants will get a three-metre space cleared in their driveway windrow so that a car can get in and out safely.The program runs from Friday, November 22, 2024, to Monday, March 24, 2025, and is available to 750 participants on a first-come, first-served basis. The cost is $200 (non-refundable) for the season or free for those who meet financial assistance criteria.

Apply online or in person

Submit an application online or in person at any of the City’s community centres, the Mississauga Seniors’ Centre or the Paramount Fine Foods Centre Sportsplex.

What you’ll need to apply

The following documents are needed to apply for the program:

Those interested in the program are encouraged to register as early as possible to secure their spot. By applying early, the City will be able to process the application and complete the necessary driveway inspection so that staff are ready to clear the windrow as soon as snow arrives.

For registration help, call 311 (or 905-615-4311 outside city limits).

SCHEDULED WATER SUPPLY INTERRUPTION NOTICE – 1492 Trotwood Ave – Tuesday, August 13th, 9:00am to 5:00pm

By Resources, Ward 1

INTERRUPTION DETAILS

Date and Time: Tuesday, August 13th, 9:00am to 5:00pm

Location: 1492 Trotwood Ave                              

Addresses Affected: 394 to 1401 Trotwood Ave                                 

Project #: C-603808

Regional Inspector: Phemelo Mpoloka

Telephone #               437-220-8917

905-791-7800 ext. 3246/3247

The Peel Region Public Works department regularly maintains and repairs the water system to make sure you have a consistent supply of quality drinking water. Sometimes we must turn off your water supply while we do this work.

Your water will be turned off on Tuesday, August 13th, 9:00am to 5:00pm. If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.

Property owner/manager responsibilities during a water interruption

As a property owner/manager, it is your responsibility to:

  • Ensure maintenance, mechanical or plumbing staff are on site during the water interruption, as it may affect internal systems that rely on water such as boilers, fire suppression, and alarms.
  • Notify the fire alarm company if the interruption could affect an alarm system.
  • Have a fire watch completed during the water interruption, as the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function when the water supply is shut off.

After the water interruption

When we turn the water back on, air in the pipes may make the water cloudy and your plumbing may vibrate or make noise. We recommend removing the air by slowly turning on your taps from the lowest to the highest faucet in the building (that is, starting in the basement/first floor, and finishing on the top floor). You will likely need to run the water for 10 to 30 seconds. Run the water until it is clear, and any vibration or noise has stopped.

Important note

After the water is turned back on, we recommend checking the water meter (usually located in the basement). If it is leaking, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:

  • 905-791-7800 extension 3226 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Monday to Friday)
  • 905-791-7800 extension 4409 (after hours or statutory holidays)

Have your say on playing sports on Mississauga streets

By Food for thought

The City is reviewing its by-laws and seeking resident feedback on playing sports and using sports equipment on local roads in Mississauga.

Currently, playing sports and using sports equipment on local roads is enforced on a complaint basis and issues are resolved through education.

Until Tuesday, August 6, Mississauga residents are invited to share their feedback on playing sports on streets using the online survey.

The survey will help the City understand what sports are currently played on streets, how often sports are played on streets, and if residents have any feedback or concerns. Responses will inform recommendations for potential changes to the by-laws, including:

  • What sports, if any, should be permitted on Mississauga streets.
  • If allowed, when and where street sports should be permitted in Mississauga.
  • Where sports equipment should be stored when not in use.
  • How the updated by-laws will be enforced.

For more information and to complete the survey, visit mississauga.ca/street-sports.​
