By Resources, Ward 1

INTERRUPTION DETAILS

Date: Wednesday July 26th,2023

Time: 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Location: Star Academy School at 1587 Cormack Crescent Ward 1, City of Mississauga

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 Wednesday July 26th, 2023 between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. 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 mayaffect 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 systemwill 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)

Indigenous Art Along the Waterfront

By Parks, Ward 1
Artwork along the waterfront will form a public art trail of works by Indigenous artists. This will include permanent public artworks, murals on buildings near the waterfront and the use of natural materials in public art installations.

Mississauga’s waterfront shoreline along Lake Ontario measures approximately 22 kilometres and extends west from Toronto towards Oakville. While there is Indigenous art located throughout the city, the shoreline of Lake Ontario provides rich opportunities to celebrate and honour Indigenous peoples, their culture, history and ongoing stewardship of the lands and waters.

A new webpage has been launched, and you can find it here.  The content includes an introductory section about the art trail as well as an “About the Curator” section featuring Philip Cote who is working with members of the Mississauga’s of the Credit First Nation and the City’s public art program on this project.

TRCA Notification: Invasive Species Management at Arsenal Lands

By Parks, Resources, Ward 1

TRCA strategically manages invasive plant species at specific restoration project sites throughout our jurisdiction. Working closely with their partners, TRCA follows best management practices including integrated pest management that uses a variety of preventative and non-chemical pest management strategies (e.g., continuous mowing to suppress growth, spading, solarizing, and composting) which aligns with TRCA’s Invasive Species Management Strategy. Depending on the severity of the infestation and the plant species, herbicide application is often the best management option that allows restoration of the landscape using native plant species.

This summer they will be applying herbicide to manage invasive Phragmites (Phragmites australis) in the Arsenal Lands (Closest Address: Lakeshore Dr E & Dixie Road, Mississauga, Small Arms Inspection Building) to achieve the larger objective of invasive species management throughout the Peel Region Parks. Using licensed applicators, these species will be treated with herbicide (Habitat Aqua – PCP #32374) following all applicable legislation. Standard regulatory signage will be installed in the treatment area before it occurs and will be removed once management efforts have been completed. Invasive control assessments and necessary adaptive management activities will occur in the coming seasons to further improve the site’s biodiversity.

Spraying will take place between July 24 and August 18. You can find a map of the spray sites below:

Should you have any questions or concerns about this work, please do not hesitate to contact Chris Cormack, Project Manager, Ecosystem Management chris.cormack@trca.ca.
