By Resources, Ward 1

INTERRUPTION DETAILS

Date: Thursday July 13th to Friday July 14th, 2023

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

Location: 1175, 1187 and 1203 to 1227 Hurontario Street and 18 to 48 Eaglewood Boulevard 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 Thursday July 13th at 9 p.m. to Friday July 14th, 2023 at 5 a.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)

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

Thank you for your patience as we complete this necessary work. This work will allow us to continue providing you with high quality tap water

ADVANCE NOTICE Watermain/Sanitary Sewer Replacement and Improvement Indian Road, Kane Road and Mineola Road West

By Resources, Ward 1

The Region of Peel anticipates replacing the watermain and sanitary sewers in your area within the next two years, as shown on the attached map.
• Watermains are underground pipes that bring tap water from our water treatment plants to your neighbourhood.
• Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from your home or business to a wastewater treatment plant. Wastewater is created when water goes down the drain or is flushed down the toilet.
As pipes age and our population grows, we need to replace older watermains and sewers to keep providing high quality water and wastewater services to you.

Important note

This upcoming construction will take place in the municipal right-of-way. The municipal right-of way includes the street and the land owned by your city between the street and your water service box (small, round metal valve in either your driveway or lawn). This work may impact the bottom of your driveway and the area around the sidewalk. We therefore recommend delaying any major landscaping or driveway paving until after this construction has been completed.

Heated Driveway
Construction in some areas may impact the bottom of your driveway. If you have a heated driveway, please contact the Region using the email or phone number below to let us know.

Before construction begins
Before we start construction, you may notice several activities in your area:
1. We will survey your street and use temporary spray paint or flags to mark the location of underground gas, hydro, and cable on roads, driveways, and lawns.
2. We may drill holes in the road or municipal right-of-way (the land between the street and your water service box) to collect soil samples, determine ground conditions, or confirm utility locations.
3. We will take pictures and record video to help us restore the area as close as possible to its former condition, after construction takes place.
We expect these activities to take place in the next few weeks.

What to expect during construction
Learn what to expect during watermain construction by visiting peelregion.ca/construction/watermain and watching our short video. The video goes behind the scenes to show what happens before, during and after construction. This website also answers common questions about:
• Why your water may be temporarily shut off,
• How traffic, parking, and waste collection may be affected,
• How driveways, roads and sod (grass) are repaired after construction is finished.

Keeping you informed
We are currently in the early planning stages, so we can’t give exact dates for when we will do the work.
In addition, as your city’s future planning activities may change, we may alter our plans to replace watermains and sanitary sewers in your neighbourhood. We will deliver more detailed information to your home or business closer to the proposed construction date.
