Dear Customer:
The Region of Peel Public Works department regularly maintains and repairs the water system to make sure you have a reliable supply of quality drinking water. Sometimes we must turn off your water supply while we do the work. There may be some water pressure losses and brief water interruptions (15 minutes) on Saturday, October 3 between 12:00 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. while we work in your area.
If this interruption may affect an alarm or maintenance company, it is your responsibility to notify them.
After our test shutdown is complete, air in the pipes may make the water cloudy and your plumbing may vibrate or make noise. If this happens, you can remove the air by briefly 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 should only have to run the water for 10 to 30 seconds, but keep running it until the water is clear and any vibration or noise has stopped.
If your water meter starts to leak, 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)

The City’s Uptown Node is growing rapidly. Located around Eglinton Avenue and Hurontario Street, the Uptown Node has several buildings under construction with new mixed-use developments on the horizon. The Uptown Node will also be served by a stop on the future Hurontario Light Rail Transit (LRT). To help guide this growth, the City of Mississauga is preparing an Official Plan Amendment (OPA) for the Uptown Node. We want to hear your feedback on the draft policies we’ve developed to address:

• Retention of office and retail space
• Affordable housing as part of new developments
• New street locations
• Block sizes
• Future park locations

 

How to Have Your Say:

 

There are many ways to share your feedback on the draft Uptown Node policies:

1. Attend the Virtual Community Meeting: On Monday, October 5, at 12:30 p.m., our planning team will walk through a live presentation and moderated Question-and-Answer session. Register here to attend.

The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is in the process of developing a new watershed plan for the Etobicoke Creek watershed. This plan will help determine the current conditions of the watershed and inform future land use and infrastructure decisions.

Engagement with residents, landowners, businesses, and other stakeholders is important for ensuring the watershed plan reflects the concerns and needs of the people that live and work within the watershed.

Please visit the project webpage for more information about this process and to complete a short engagement survey about a watershed vision and key issues of concern. The survey will be available until October 19, 2020.

If you have any questions about this process, please do not hesitate to contact Tony Morris, Project Manager, Watershed Planning and Reporting at tony.morris@trca.ca.

Yesterday, Council approved an updated Parks By-law that will ensure more safety and greater clarity for park users and the City’s enforcement staff. The by-law is effective immediately.

“As Mississauga continues to grow and evolve, updates to the Parks By-law are necessary for the City to effectively continue administering and enforcing all park related activities and programs,” said Jodi Robillos, Director, Parks, Forestry and Environment. “This also ensures that all park users are clearly made aware and understand what is and isn’t allowed in our parks. More importantly, it brings more safety measures for the public so that our parks can continue to be used and enjoyed by everyone.”

Some of the key highlights with the updated Parks By-law are as follows:

• Children under 12 years of age are not allowed to enter Leash-Free Zones.
• Commercial dog walkers with an approved permit can use Leash-Free Zones Monday to Friday between the hours of 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. only.
• Smoking regulations aligned with the Region of Peel’s No Smoking or Vaping By-law which prohibits smoking and vaping in public outdoor spaces.
• Park opening hours to change to dawn from 7 a.m. (closure still remains at 11 p.m.) to better reflect user needs.
• A Park Vendor section created for clarity around food/refreshment vehicles or carts, and portable display units that operate in parks – with reference to Mobile Licensing processes that are required.
• Designated busking areas to be identified through the City’s SaugaBusks program.
• A section that deals with kite flying to address requests and emerging trends.
• Commercial activities section for goods and services provided by third parties in parks, including commercial photography, fitness/instructional classes and park vendors.
• Clarity around fishing in parks.
• Allowing for different modes of transportation that can be used in park and trail systems.
• Providing clear prohibition of the use of profane/abusive language, including hate speech during gatherings and events within parks.

In reviewing and updating the by-law, staff from various business units were involved, including: Parks, Forestry and Environment; Enforcement; Corporate Security; Legal Services; Recreation; Animal Services; and Mobile Licensing. The City also consulted with residents, Leash-Free Mississauga and commercial dog walkers for regulations that relate to Leash-Free Zones.

To learn more about these changes, view the updated Parks By-law.
