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, February 1st, from approximately 8:30 am to 5:00 pm. 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)

Councillors take part in CPR and AED training during Regional Council

By Food for thought, Resources

Thursday, Jan. 25, councillors took part in a CPR and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) training session during Regional Council. The training session was delivered by Peel Regional Paramedic Services in anticipation of Heart Month in February.

1800 people experience cardiac arrest in Peel Region each year. The chance of survival increases significantly if the person receives bystander CPR within 60 seconds of collapsing.

So far this month, two people in Peel Region have received a second chance at life because of bystander CPR, underscoring the importance of everyone learning this life-saving skill.

To further promote bystander CPR, Peel Regional Paramedic Services has placed hundreds of AEDs in public places, together with the GTAA, Brampton, Caledon and Mississauga. It is also participating in a Volunteer Community Responder pilot project with Sunnybrook Hospital to see if crowdsourcing CPR can save more lives in Peel. With more than 200 citizen volunteers, the pilot project has helped 20 people receive life-saving care.

Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services expands fleet with state-of-the-art vehicles

By Announcement, Resources

Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services (MFES) has welcomed two anticipated, state-of-the-art heavy rescue vehicles. This purchase is a significant milestone for MFES as it marks the first time it has acquired heavy rescue vehicles of this calibre. It also marks a notable advancement in the City’s commitment to ensuring the highest level of safety measures and preparedness for its residents and neighbourhoods.

Red Heavy Rescue Vehicle
One of the two new heavy rescue vehicles

“These new heavy rescue vehicles represent a substantial investment in the safety and well-being of our community,” said Deryn Rizzi, Fire Chief and Director of Emergency Management. “They are integral to our mission of providing prompt and effective emergency response services, ensuring that our highly skilled firefighters have the necessary resources to handle complex and challenging situations efficiently.”

What is a heavy rescue vehicle?

Heavy rescue vehicles provide Mississauga’s highly skilled and trained firefighters with state-of-the-art resources to efficiently respond to challenging and complex situations. They are uniquely designed to carry specialized equipment used for complex emergency scenarios such as:

  • Light and heavy vehicle collisions
  • Trench rescues
  •  High and low angle rope rescues
  • Confined space rescues
  • Industrial, machine and elevator accidents
  • Structural fires
  • Medical emergencies

Heavy rescue vehicle features

In addition to firefighting gear, these heavy rescue vehicles are equipped with a variety of technical rescue tools, including:

  • Battery-powered hydraulic extrication tools
  • Stabilizing struts used to provide structural shoring and vehicle stabilization
  • Rope rescue devices
  • Confined space equipment
  • Trench rescue tools
  • Rigging hardware
  • Machinery and elevator rescue tools, among many others

The heavy rescue vehicles will be strategically deployed across Mississauga to maximize coverage and improve response times, further enhancing MFES’s ability to protect lives and property. These new vehicles will also provide support for emergencies such as structure fires, atmospheric testing, medical crises, and motor vehicle collisions.

Technical specifications of the heavy rescue vehicle

Make: Pierce Manufacturing, Appleton WI

Cab: Five passenger, extended cab with interior storage cabinets

Body:

  • 24’ Walk-in Rescue, 78” interior height
  • Fixed front bumper 12,000 lb winch & 9,000 lb mobile winch – To assist with the pulling and stabilizing of vehicles.
  • Eight rope rescue anchor points – This assists with both low and high angle rope rescue manoeuvers.
  • Onan 25kW PTO driven on-board generator – This will provide auxiliary electrical power for various on-board tools and equipment.
  • 200’ electric and air hose reels.
  • Will-Burt Night Scan Chief Roof Mounted LED Light Tower – This provides lighting at night, during emergencies.
  • Atlas-Copco 16.7 CFM @175 psi on-board air compressor – This provides compressed air for pneumatic tools and equipment.

Future additions to the MFES fleet: electric-powered pumper vehicle

In addition to the heavy rescue vehicles, MFES will also add its first-ever electric-powered pumper vehicle to its fleet this year. The vehicle will support the City in lowering its carbon emissions while boasting eco-friendly features that minimize noise and exhaust emissions. The electric range of the EV pumper is expected to be approximately 100 km. The vehicle will require a 90-minute charging cycle to fully power up the battery using a DC fast charger.

Example of a Pierce EV Powertrain

About the MFES vehicle fleet

The heavy rescue vehicles are a valuable addition to the MFES fleet, which will now consist of 17 Pumpers, eight Aerials, four Squads, two Heavy Rescues, one electric-powered Pumper (due to arrive in August 2024) and several other support vehicles including a Hazardous Response Vehicle, Air Rehab Unit, Command Post and three District Chief Command vehicles.

On average, MFES responds to 30,000 emergency calls annually, making it essential to have a robust fleet of emergency vehicles that can handle any situation at a moment’s notice.
