WATER INTERRUPTION NOTICE Sanitary Sewer Replacement and Improvement Mattawa Ave and Caterpillar Rd affected by water interruption.

By Resources, Ward 1

The Peel Region Public Works department regularly maintains and repairs the sanitary sewer pipes and maintenance holes in your area. Sometimes we must turn off your water supply while we do this work.

Your water will be turned off on July 30th between 4 a.m. and 7 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/businesses responsibilities during a water interruption

As a property owner/manager, it is your responsibility to:
• Notify all residents/tenants in the building of the upcoming water interruption. A poster is included for posting in highly visible areas (lobbies, mailrooms, and/or elevators) or photocopying for each unit.
• 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)

Summer construction in Peel supports roadway safety

By Resources

Road maintenance and construction activities are carried out in the spring, summer, and fall across Peel Region. Daily road maintenance keeps our transportation network in good condition, promotes safer travel in Peel for all road users, and helps to meet the needs of our growing community.

Peel’s summer road maintenance and construction projects align with the goal of Vision Zero to help reduce and eliminate injuries and fatal collisions on our roads. Through summer projects such as crack sealing, line painting, and the completion of high-priority capital projects, Peel extends the life of our roadway assets while promoting safer travel throughout the Region.

Capital road projects

Capital projects are often long-term and large-scale plans designed to improve the quality and safety of Peel’s roadways. Peel is currently working on:

  • Widening Mississauga Road, from Bovaird Drive to Mayfield Road.
  • The Gore Road reconstruction, from Patterson Sideroad to Hwy 9.
  • The rehabilitation of Old Main St from Caledon Mountain Drive to River Road, and Bush St from Old Main St to East of Shaws Creek Road.
  • Culvert replacement on Charleston Sideroad 0.6km east of Autumn Drive, and on Charleston Sideroad at Winston Churchill Blvd.
  • Noise wall installation on Bovaird Drive, east of Hwy 410 (east of Sunny Meadow Boulevard to Airport Road).
  • Bridge rehabilitation on Queen St. over Spring Creek.

Crack sealing

Crack sealing is maintenance work which addresses issues with stressed or aging asphalt. By sealing cracks in asphalt, we prevent water and debris from entering and worsening cracks which extends the lifespan of our roadways.

Line painting

Line painting occurs every year to increase the visibility of the road markings which guide and direct all types of road users. Peel’s roads support high volumes of vehicle traffic, which cause markings to fade quickly or become hard to see. If you’re driving and approach a truck re-painting our roadways, be sure to leave space or choose a different route to avoid contact with wet paint.

Safe travel in work zones

Every day, people in our community are working on or near roads, and they’re counting on you to slow down and travel with caution.

Daily maintenance activities such as sign and signal repair, safety barrier maintenance, pothole patching, litter removal, and grass cutting on roadsides take place alongside summer road maintenance projects. These activities require traffic control, temporary lane restrictions, and the presence of work zones.

Work zones can be difficult to move through, so it’s important that all road users are patient, cautious and alert. This summer, play your part in work zone safety by driving carefully, cycling slowly, and walking only in designated pedestrian areas. Transportation safety is a shared responsibility; let’s work together to protect every driver, cyclist, and pedestrian on our roads so that we all get home safely.

Visit our website to learn more about Vision Zero, work zone safety, and road maintenance. To report fallen signage, pylons, or traffic cones in a construction zone, call 311.

Heavy rains release partially treated wastewater into Lake Ontario

By Announcement, Resources, Ward 1

BRAMPTON, ON (July 16, 2024) – Due to recent heavy rains and subsequent flooding, an overflow of partially treated wastewater from the G. E. Booth wastewater treatment facility has been released into Lake Ontario. The exact amount of water is unknown at this time. Partial bypasses are common during high rainfall events.

The drinking water supply remains clean and safe for consumption. Our water treatment facilities are operating effectively, ensuring the highest standards of water quality.

Heavy rains can flush pollutants into water bodies. Residents are advised to refrain from swimming or engaging in any water-related activities along the Lake Ontario beaches in Mississauga until further notice. Please check the beach water testing site for the most recent results.

Peel Region is closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates as more information becomes available. We encourage residents to stay informed through our official communication channels.

Waste Exemption Period Amendment Resolution – Regional Council July 11, 2024

By Resources, Stephen’s Initiatives

In March 2023, Regional Council approved the discontinuation of exemption periods as of the beginning of the next collection contract combined with better promotion of the bulky item collection program and overall waste reduction efforts. This decision aligns with Peel’s target of achieving 75 per cent waste diversion by 2034.

It was suggested by staff that eliminating exemption periods, combined with better promotion of Peel’s bulky item collection program will result in operational efficiencies and fewer late and missed collections.

Councillor Dasko introduced a resolution at Regional Council related to Resolution 2023-216 from the March 23, 2023 Regional Council meeting, as it relates to Clause 2.a that reads “Elimination of Exemption Periods for curbside residents and the removal of Exemption Periods from By-law 35-2015”, be amended to delete the subject section.  The Resolution passed, therefore Exemption Periods will continue when the new contract is in effect.
