New Water Service Connections to all Properties between the Lakeshore West Rail Bridge to Mineola Road – June 29, 2023 to July 29, 2023 from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. with some overnight works

By Hurontario LRT, Resources, Ward 1

What work is taking place?

As utility upgrades progress in the area, crews will be connecting properties along Hurontario Street, between the GO Lakeshore West rail bridge and Mineola Road, to the new watermain infrastructure that has recently been installed along the road alignment. The work is expected to take place as early as June 29 and will last approximately one month to July 29. Crews will be working Monday to Saturday, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. In some instances, overnight work will be required at the direction of the Region of Peel for temporary water service disruptions during the connections.

All the connection points are within the municipal right of way. Most of the connection points are located within the municipal side of existing driveways or the public boulevard. To make these connections, crews will need to excavate a small area up to the property line. As a result, there may be temporary impacts to water service, driveway access, and lawns/trees/hedging that are in direct conflict with the connection points. All impacted driveways will be temporarily restored using hot mix asphalt until permanent restoration takes place with final grading and re-surfacing. Any disruption to lawns/trees/ hedging will be reinstated during the final landscaping phase of the project. Individual property owners/managers directly impacted will be notified by the Region of Peel in advance of the impacts specific to their water service connection.

In accordance with City of Mississauga Noise By-Law Exemption requirements, this notice is meant to advise that residents near the work site can expect to hear noise and vibration caused by trucks, excavators, backhoes, loaders, and other construction equipment related to this work.

All works will be carried out in accordance with the Ontario Municipalities Act for the purposes of providing a water public utility with respect to accessing private property as needed. For more information on this Act please visit the government of Ontario webpage on public utilities at https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/01m25#BK89

Please note, work may be rescheduled due to inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances. If you require the most up-to-date information, please reach out to peel@metrolinx.com.

SCHEDULED WATER INTERRUPTION NOTICE – Tuesday, June 27, 2023 – 1179 Strathy Ave

By Resources, Ward 1

INTERRUPTION DETAILS

Date and Time:         Tuesday, June 27, 2023, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

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 Tuesday, June 27, 2023, from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 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.

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)
