The Peel Region 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 November 22nd, 9:00am to 5:00pm. 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:
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:
If you have any questions, please contact us.

As part of the Brightwater development and ongoing maintenance of City of Mississauga lands, including the delivery of new public parks and improvements to the existing Waterfront Trail, it has recently come to both ours and the City’s attention that increased shoreline protection measures are required to address erosion hazards from Lake Ontario along the section of the Waterfront Trail south of Brightwater between Ben Machree Park and JC Saddington Park. Construction will include the installation of a new armour stone revetment and the excavation and replacement of soil to stabilize and protect the shoreline and waterfront trail network, as well as to prevent future erosion and damage from lake waves and ice. The majority of the work is within municipal property, with a portion being within the Brightwater property; however, the Brightwater team has agreed to complete all of the work on behalf of the City concurrently with our own required work along the shoreline. All of the work will be completed in accordance with approvals from the City of Mississauga, Credit Valley Conservation Authority, and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
In order to complete this work in a safe and efficient manner, the Waterfront Trail south of Brightwater between JC Saddington Park and Ben Machree Park will need to be closed to the public for the duration of construction activities.
Signage with alternate travel routes will be posted at both ends of this section of the Waterfront Trail, within JC Saddington and Ben Machree parks, prior to and during the closure. The detour will be up/down Mississauga Rd S, along Lakeshore Rd W, and up/down Pine Ave S to connect back to the Trail. We are working with the City to ensure winter snow maintenance is prioritized on the sidewalks and any bike lanes along this detour. We do apologize for the inconvenience and want to confirm that the Waterfront Trail in this section will be fully restored and reopened in March 2025 upon completion of construction.
Today, November 19th, Peel Regional Police released new data that shows 9-1-1 call wait times decreased by approximately 80% in 2024.
This significant decrease can be attributed to support from the Region of Peel and Peel Police Service Board, public education campaigns on the misuse of 9-1-1, investments in new technology such as Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG 9-1-1), and the dedicated of our 9-1-1 communicators. These efforts have also resulted in a 92% increase in calls being answered within 15 seconds compared to last year.
Earlier this year, Peel Regional Police made history as the first large Public Safety Answering Point in Canada to implement NG 9-1-1, with funding support from the federal and provincial government. The new system, which will be implemented in phases over multiple years, enables community members to connect faster with first responders during emergencies. This includes a new feature, the Automated Abandoned Call-Back system, which provides the caller with clear instructions to acknowledge if the call was a misdial or an emergency. To date, the system has processed over 75,000 hang-up calls.
We would like to continue to remind members of our community of when to call the non-emergency line vs. 9-1-1:
For a Growing Skyline
By: Andrea Josic
Mississauga—meaning:
“The River of the North of Many Mouths”
A meeting point for the water and land
where the sailboats kiss along the midpoint of its shore
and dance in the hushed haze of the night sky
The people of this land lifelined across the rivers
to their kin and neighbours
and I like to think today’s skyline twinkles for all of us
nearly 1,000,000 shooting stars
every joyous face, like smiles marking pins on a world map
across our brief city limit
For decades, families have fed the ducks in Kariya Park
under summer’s promising breeze
or ice skated in endless circles in our city’s centre
under winter’s subdued skies
In each beautiful season
our community built stronger than the etching skyscrapers
Children’s wonder follow the pinball’s birthday party thwack
teenagers peruse the malls with hopeful $10 pockets
and parents teach their kids to bike ride behind grocery store plazas
I know we used to flow along gentle fields surrounding sparse high rises
and although a growing city brings shade in its afternoons
it never darkens its brightening future
Each corner of this city carries with it a unique melody
Dozens of brick villages led to this present union
all eager to move forward, clutching each other’s hearts
as we grow and develop as a city
Even amidst the busiest highways
where we hurry to reach our community
and the loudest skies
where we fly to bring our loved ones over
all so we can share our special places
with them
This Is It!
The cannon is muzzled, the planes are nested,
the navies anchored.
The silence breaks to a bird’s song, a child’s laugh.
The assembly line turns from the products of death
to the simple wares of Peace.
The bayonet is put away and the ploughshare lifted again.
This is the Peace we have bought
with blood and sweat and tears.
This is the liberty, this is the freedom,
This is the to-morrow of our yesterdays.
And this is the lesson learned:
That Freedom must be nurtured or it dies;
That a country’s hunger is a world’s shame;
That brotherhood is not bound by the barriers of tongue.
This is our post-war world,
This is the land, the life we’ve won,
The future is now begun.
