Notification of herbicide application for the control of invasive plants

By Parks, Ward 1

Upcoming herbicide application to control Phragmites, beginning September 26th, at Cawthra Woods.

Contractors working on behalf of the City, Credit Valley Conservation Authority, will apply VisionMax (Glyphosate) directly to the plants using a handheld/backpack sprayer to minimize impacts to plants in the surrounding area. One patch of Phragmites will be managed using Habitat Aqua (Imazapyr), an herbicide approved for use over standing water. Notification signs will be posted at all access points to the spray area at least 24 hours prior to treatment and will be removed no less than 48 hours after treatment. Treatment should be completed within 1 week, but the timelines may be extended as needed depending on weather conditions.

This work supports the City’s Invasive Species Management Program and improves the health of natural areas across the City.

The Park Supervisor and 311 have been notified of these operations.

SCHEDULED WATER SUPPLY INTERRUPTION NOTICE – Friday, Sept 6th, 9:00am to 5:00pm – 953 & 957 Halliday Ave 

By Resources, Ward 1

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, Sept 6th, 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:

  • 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)

Two bats test positive for rabies virus in Peel Region 

By Announcement

Peel Public Health reminds residents to avoid touching wild or unknown animals

BRAMPTON, ON (August 29, 2024) – Peel Public Health has confirmed two positive cases of rabies found in bats in Peel Region, one in the Professor’s Lake area of Brampton and one in south Mississauga. There were no resulting cases of rabies in humans.

Rabies is an infectious viral disease that affects the central nervous system of warm-blooded animals, including humans. It is spread through the saliva and mucus membranes of infected animals. Humans and their pets can become infected if they are in contact with a rabid animal.  Symptomatic rabies infections in humans are almost always fatal.  Treatment with rabies vaccination and antibodies injection can prevent rabies if they are given before symptoms appear.

The risk of running into an infected animal and contracting rabies in Ontario is very low. The virus can only be contracted through bites or scratches from an infected animal.

Wild animals such as foxes, raccoons, skunks and bats can spread rabies. Below are some tips from Peel Public Health to avoid rabies exposure.

  • Avoid touching, approaching or feeding wild or unknown animals, even if they look healthy.
  • Ensure pets and livestock are up to date with their rabies vaccinations.
  • If you find a bat in your home, call Animal Services at 311. Don’t attempt to remove the bat yourself.
  • Stay away from animals that are acting strangely, are injured or are sick.

If you have been bitten by or scratched by a wild animal, speak to a healthcare provider as soon as possible. Rabies is preventable through prompt medical care.

If you see a sick or wounded animal, contact Animal Services by calling 311. Do not touch or handle the animal.

More information on preventing rabies can be found on Peel Region’s website.
