NOTICE OF BRIEF WATER INTERRUPTION Watermain Replacement and Improvement 1403 to 1554 Dundas Street East

By Announcement, Resources

Peel Region Public Works 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 work on the system or conduct tests.

On Sunday January 12th, 2025, between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m., please expect a loss of water pressure and a brief water outage (roughly 15 minutes) while we work in your area. 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.

Property owner/manager responsibilities during a water interruption

If you are a property owner/manager, it is your responsibility to:
• Ensure maintenance, mechanical or plumbing staff are on site during the water interruption, as it may
affect 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 system will 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)

Peel’s Christmas tree collection starts next week (January 13)

By Resources

BRAMPTON, ON (January 6, 2025) – Get your real Christmas trees and wreaths ready for curbside pickup, starting next week.

Check your waste collection calendar for your pickup day.

To set out trees, residents must ensure that:

  • Trees taller than 3 m. (10 ft.) are cut in half.
  • All plastic bags, ornaments, tinsel, nails, wire, and tree stands are removed.
  • Trees are not placed in, on, or behind snowbanks.

If you live in an apartment or condo, put your Christmas tree at the curb by the driveway entrance of your property. Be sure your tree doesn’t obstruct the road or sidewalk.

Residents who miss their collection can take their Christmas trees to a Community Recycling Centre (CRC) for disposal. Trees taller than 3 m. (10 ft.) must be cut in half to be accepted. Remove all tinsel, ornaments, plastic bags, nails, wires, and tree stands from your tree before bringing it to a CRC.

 

Important Update – Upcoming NAV CANADA Flight Checks: First Semi-annual Test

By Announcement, Events, Resources

NAV Canada regularly conducts instrument landing system (ILS) check at Toronto Pearson. This is a routine operation that ensures the accuracy and safety of the country’s navigation aids and instrument approach procedures. The ILS is a precision approach system that provides navigational guidance signals and information on a cockpit display to guide pilots accurately to the point of landing in periods of poor visibility.

The first semi-annual test of 2025 will take place for two nights during the week of January 13 from approx. 12:00AM to 4:00AM and will involve all runways at Toronto Pearson. It will take approximately 20 minutes per runway.

Pre-approved flights do operate in the overnight hours in accordance with the Night Flight Restriction program in effect between 12:30 am and 6:30 am. However, given that the flight checks will involve flight patterns of repeated approaches for the runways at varying combinations of height, speed, and direction, we wanted to inform you that there might be noise impacts in your riding.

We have already posted the information on our Noise Advisory Calendar, and will also be posting a message on WebTrak.

Affected residents can feel free to reach out to the Toronto Pearson Noise Management Office directly if they have any questions or wish to submit a noise complaint:

  • Online using WebTrak or the complaint form
  • By phone 416-247-7682
