By Resources, Ward 1

INTERRUPTION DETAILS

Date and Time: Friday, July 5th, 3:00am to 7:00am

Location:  2303 Stanfield Rd                           

Addresses Affected: Queensway E: 1185, 1195, 1215, 1225, 1235                                

Project #:  C- 474290

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 Friday, July 5th, from 3:00am to 7:00am. 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)

If you have any questions, please contact us.

Dundas Bus Rapid Transit Round 4 of Public Engagement

By Events, Resources

Metrolinx, in collaboration with the City of Mississauga, is continuing to advance planning for the Dundas Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project. The proposed Dundas BRT project would bring 48 kilometres of fast, frequent bus rapid transit along Dundas Street from Highway 6 in the City of Hamilton through to the Kipling Transit Hub in the City of Toronto, linking Etobicoke and Mississauga City Centres. More than 20 kilometres of the project would operate in bus lanes or in a dedicated right-of-way, separate from other traffic, allowing faster and more reliable transit connections.

The fourth round of public engagement will run from June 24 – July 24, 2024.

You can also participate in a virtual live session on July 10, 2024, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at metrolinx.com/DundasBRT.

The live session will feature updates from project experts and an opportunity to ask your questions.

The Dundas BRT project involves evaluating a proposed transit corridor along a 48-kilometre stretch of Dundas Street from Highway 6 in the City of Hamilton through to the Kipling Transit Hub in Toronto, linking Etobicoke and Mississauga City Centre.

Engagement on Toronto, Mississauga West, and Halton and Hamilton will continue through 2024.

Metrolinx Announcement – Upcoming Construction Impacts – GO Expansion

By Announcement, Resources

 GO service is expanding to serve you better – with more frequent service, more stations, cleaner technology, and more connections.

 

As part of investigative work for the GO Expansion project, crews will be drilling vertical boreholes to assess ground conditions within the Lakeshore West rail corridor. This work will support future track and infrastructure updates.

 

Starting Monday, July 8th, drilling is scheduled to take place overnight for approximately 5 months. Borehole drilling is sequenced and moves throughout the rail corridor as work progresses. Daytime working hours are scheduled whenever possible; however, some activities are required to take place overnight when trains are not in service.

 

Residents may experience some noise and minor vibration from the drill and other construction vehicles or equipment.  Noise and vibration monitoring will take place and mitigation measures will be applied as required. Work will take place within the rail corridor.  We apologize for any inconvenience and ask for your patience as we complete this critical work.

 

The attached notice has been mailed to residents impacted by this construction along the Lakeshore West Corridor. We will also be featuring this construction notice in our newsletter and on Metrolinx.com.

Slow Down Move Over Save Lives

By Food for thought, Resources

When approaching an emergency vehicle with flashing red lights or red and blue lights, or a tow truck with flashing amber lights stopped on the side of the road, you’re required by law to slow down and proceed with caution. If the road has two or more lanes, and it’s safe to do so, drivers should change lanes providing space for stopped service vehicles. Penalties include:

  • minimum fine of $400 and three demerit points upon conviction.
  • penalties for any subsequent offence (within 5 years) may include $1,000 to $4,000 in fines, possible jail time up to 6 months and possible suspension of driver’s license up to 2 years.
