The Region of Peel 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 Thursday, November 30th, from approximately 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.

If this interruption may affect an alarm or maintenance company, it is your responsibility to notify them.  During the time that the water supply is interrupted, the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function.  A fire watch should be performed as necessary during time period.

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). Flush the toilets as well. 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 your water meter (usually located in the basement).  If it is leaking, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:

  • (905) 791 – 7800 Ext. 3226 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Monday to Friday)
  • (905) 791 – 7800 Ext. 4409 (After hours or Statutory Holidays)

Parks Winter Operations 2023-2024

By Parks, Ward 1

Overview
The Parks Operations team performs winter maintenance that includes clearing snow and de-icing in;
 4-season parking lots,
 Community centres, arenas, libraries and/or banquet facilities
 Trails and walkways that serve a transportation link for local communities (e.g. trails, walkways and easements to school boundaries).

When snow will be cleared
The size and intensity of the storm will dictate the time required to treat and clear facilities, parking lots and pathways. The City plows when five centimetres of snow or more accumulates. If there is less than five centimetres of snow, locations are salted.

The follow chart summarizes Parks winter maintenance service levels;

When experiencing back to back storms, (e.g. over consecutive days), or significant weather events, timelines as outlined above may be extended.

In extreme weather conditions, the City may declare a significant weather event. During a significant weather event, the timing for winter maintenance crews to clear the snow resets when the event is over.

Winter salt and brine
The City uses rock salt, or sodium chloride, to clear parking lots, front entrances, pathways, easements and sidewalks. In anticipation of a snow event, the City may use brine to pre-treat priority locations; such as community centres and arena parking lots, a few days ahead of the incoming event. Brine is solution of water and salt, and is sprayed on the parking lots which makes it harder for ice to form, and makes parking lots easier to plow.

Parking Lot Closures

Seasonal parking lots (including gravel lots and lots adjacent to seasonal facilities) are closed during the winter period.
Parking lots are closed prior to the first significant snowfall. Signs will be posted notifying the public of the closure.

Winter Service Levels for Sanitation
During the winter season, seasonal sanitation containers are removed from permitted sports fields and permanent bins are relocated to entrances to ensure they are serviceable throughout the winter season.

The following chart summarizes Parks winter sanitation service levels;

Construction Notice PROJECT UPDATE Storm Sewer Rehabilitation At Dixie Road and Dundas Street

By Resources, Ward 1

Project 21-2300D

Peel Region is working in your neighbourhood to rehabilitate the storm sewer on Dixie Road at Dundas Street.
The City of Mississauga, under the Noise Bylaw, is allowing work to be done by our contractor overnight. This work will take place overnight to rehabilitate the storm sewer on Dixie Road and to minimize the impact of traffic congestion. We apologize in advance for any inconveniences caused by this work.

Schedule
This overnight work is expected to take place for one evening, November 27, 2023, from 7pm until 7am. Additional nights may be required due to unpredictable delays, such as poor weather conditions.

Traffic impacts
This work will require a lane closure of north bound Lane at Dixie Road south of Dundas Street from 7pm to 7am . Signage will be available for detour route directions.

Noise
We do not anticipate significant noise or vibrations above normal daytime traffic levels during these operations. Efforts will be made to reduce impacts to residents as much as possible.

Safety during construction
Construction zones require extra caution to keep everyone safe – pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and construction workers. When driving, walking, or biking through the construction area, please be aware of your surroundings, watch for construction crews and other road users, slow down, account for delays, and consider other routes if possible. To learn more about how to stay safe in construction zones, visit peelregion.ca/workzonesafety

Keeping you informed
We will let you know if there are any major changes to the plans.

City holds public meeting on increasing housing choices in neighbourhoods

By Events, Planning & Development

Mississauga needs more housing options for families, older adults, students and others who want to live in low-rise neighbourhoods. Increasing the supply and variety of homes across Mississauga through gentle density is a primary action in the City’s Housing Action Plan.

The City is holding a statutory public meeting at Planning and Development Committee to present draft regulations to allow residents to build up to four residential units on low-rise residential lots.

Meeting Details

When:  Wednesday, November 29, 2023 at 6 p.m.

Where:  Council Chambers, City Hall

Participate:  Watch the live stream on the City’s website (without registering) or join in person at City Hall. Instructions on how to register for the meeting are included in the meeting agenda.

Note: The housing information session planned for December 6 has been postponed until 2024.

Background

Mississauga City Council has long supported exploring policies to introduce gentle density and build more housing.

  • The City’s Increasing Housing Choices in Neighbourhoods (IHCN) work, which began in 2021, established new zoning and Official Plan regulations for additional residential units such as garden suites, garage conversions and laneway suites and allows up to three residential units on a lot.
  • IHCN stemmed from Mississauga’s 2017 Making Room for the Middle affordable housing strategy. At the time, the City was one of the first municipalities in Canada to develop a housing strategy focused on middle-income earners.
