WATER INTERRUPTION NOTICE Watermain Replacement and Improvement Star Academy School at 1587 Cormack Crescent – Friday August 11th, 2023 between 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

By Resources, Ward 1

INTERRUPTION DETAILS

Date: Friday August 11th,2023

Time: 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Location: Star Academy School at 1587 Cormack Crescent

Affecting: Approximately 1 private school affected

Project No.: 22-1395

Project Manager: Frank Pugliese

Telephone: (905) 867-6437

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 Friday August 11th, 2023 between 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.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 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)

The Compass Back to School Supplies Drive

By Resources, Ward 1

In the blink of an eye, summer vacation is over and school is just around the corner. Going back to school should be an exciting time for kids, but the experience for children from low-income families may be just the opposite. Purchasing school supplies isn’t a luxury all families can afford. Sadly, it can bring embarrassment and can often affect a child’s school participation and academic achievement. Though the act of receiving new school supplies may seem small, the impact is enormous.

They need all donations of NEW items in-house no later than Friday August 11th so they can pack them up for distribution to families in need beginning August 14th.

Drop off NEW items or Walmart/Staples Gift Cards to The Compass at 427 Lakeshore Road East, Mississauga at the back receiving doors during our business hours. Please do not leave items in the outside donation bin.

Last year with your help they provided school supplies to 310 children in need. The numbers this year indicate that the need is to fill 400 knapsacks.
