Heritage Road watermain construction
The Study
Peel Region has completed a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study to consider placement of a watermain outside of the existing road right-of-way on Heritage Road/Meadowvale Boulevard. This watermain will extend from the Meadowvale North Pumping Station in Mississauga to Steeles Avenue West in Brampton.
The study was conducted according to the requirements for a Schedule 'B' project in the Municipal Engineers Association document titled Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015).
The planned improvements will provide municipal drinking water to the proposed development in the Bram West Secondary Plan. In addition, the watermain provides a continued water supply to existing businesses and residents in northwest Mississauga and southwest Brampton. The map shows the boundaries of the proposed watermain extension.

A Project File Report was prepared to document the planning, public and agency consultations, and decision-making process undertaken to develop the preferred solution. The project file report will be available for review for 30 calendar days starting Thursday, August 18th, 2022 and ending on Friday, September 16, 2022.
