    Project 24-2458

    Lakeshore Road East sanitary sewer rehabilitation project

    Project updates

    • December 17, 2024: Construction Update Notice along Lakeshore Rd. E. between Alexandra Ave. and Ogden Ave. Lakeshore Rd. E. between Deta Rd. and 42nd St. Intersection of Lakeshore Rd. E. and Haig Blvd.

    Streets affected: Lakeshore Road East, between 42nd Street and Deta Road, Alexandra Avenue and Ogden Avenue and Haig Boulevard and Lakeshore Road Intersection

    Peel Region will be working in your area to rehabilitate the sanitary sewers along Lakeshore Road East at the following locations:

    • Between 42nd Street and Deta Road;
    • Between Alexandra Avenue and Ogden Avenue; and
    • Haig Boulevard and Lakeshore Road Intersection

    Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from your home or business to a water resource recovery facility. Wastewater is created when water goes down the drain or is flushed down the toilet. To strengthen and extend the life of the existing sewer pipes, we will be rehabilitating the existing sewer pipes by adding a new lining within sections of the pipe.

    Construction schedule

    Construction is planned to begin December 2024 and be completed by December 2025.

    All work is under warranty for two years from the completion date.

    Contractor and working hours

    The work will be completed by Michels Canada and supported by GEI Consultants, both under contract to Peel Region. While the contractor’s normal working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday, there will be some night work required to expedite construction as continuous bypass pumping of sewage flows is necessary to facilitate sewer rehabilitation. We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but shorter working days would require your neighbourhood/area to be under construction for a longer period of time.

    Wastewater service interruptions

    To complete this work, your wastewater service pipe may be out of service (plugged) for approximately 8 hours; we will let you know beforehand whether this is the case. (Wastewater service pipes carry wastewater from your home to the underground sanitary sewer system.) This temporary service interruption allows for the pipe to be repaired without digging up the street. To advise you of the exact date and time of this service interruption, Michels Canada will provide you with a second notice at least 24 hours before the lining process begins.

    It is important to minimize your water use while the sewer work is underway:

    • You may continue to wash your hands but minimize your water use.
    • Do not use showers, bathtubs, dishwashers, or your washing machine.
    • Keep toilet flushing to a bare minimum.

    These actions will reduce the possibility of wastewater (also known as sewage) backing up into your basement or into your plumbing. If you have a sump pump, please notify us or tell the contractor when they arrive at your property.

    Traffic and parking

    The work will be phased to minimize disruption to traffic. At least one lane will be open in each direction during this work. All entrances to businesses and residences will be maintained during construction.

    Repairing areas impacted by construction

    Rehabilitation of the sewer will require excavation to access the pipe and to facilitate bypass pumping. We will start repairing the road, curb, driveway entrances and boulevards once our work on the sewer is completed. These repairs may be delayed due to contractor availability or certain seasonal weather conditions.

    For example:

    • Paving cannot take place when the ground is saturated with water, or the temperature is below 3°C.
    • Asphalt is not available in large volumes during the winter. Asphalt usually becomes available around mid-May.
    • Most sod farms are located north of Peel. They usually have sod available beginning in late May. We will replace the sod once it is available. We replace sod only until the middle of November, weather permitting, to let the sod grow roots. If we do not repair sod by the middle of November, we’ll replace the sod the following spring.

    Odours

    You may smell some odours while the synthetic resin inside the sewer cures. These odours are temporary and will dissipate within a few hours.  You can prevent or minimize these odours by making sure you have water in all of your drains, including your basement floor drain. We recommend pouring a bucket of water down the floor drain and running the water in all sinks, showers, and tubs for a minute, either the evening before or day of the relining work. If you are not able to put water down your floor drain (for example, if it is currently covered by flooring), we strongly recommend making it accessible before relining work begins to reduce the level of odours in your home. 

    Safety during construction

    Construction zones require extra caution to keep everyone safe – pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and construction workers. When driving, walking, or biking through the construction area, please be aware of your surroundings, watch for construction crews and other road users, slow down, account for delays, and consider other routes if possible. Learn more about how to stay safe in construction zones.

    Keeping you informed

    We will let you know if there are any major changes to the plans. Follow Peel Public Works on X (formerly Twitter) for service updates and changes.

    We value your feedback

    After we have finished, we will invite you to provide feedback on the construction project.

    Thank you for your patience as we complete this necessary work. This work will allow us to continue providing you with high quality wastewater services. If you have any questions, please contact us.
