Project 10-1210 C5 – August 27, 2026 notice for businesses
Street affected: Dixie Road
Brief water interruption
Peel Region regularly maintains and repairs the water system in your area. Sometimes, we need to turn off your water supply while we do this work.
You will experience a loss of water pressure and a brief water outage (approximately 3 hours) on Thursday, September 3, 2026, between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other unexpected events, we’ll let you know the new date and time.
If this interruption may affect an alarm or maintenance company, it is your responsibility to notify them.
Property owner/manager responsibilities during a water interruption
As a property owner/manager, it is your responsibility to:
- Notify all tenants in the building of the upcoming water interruption.
- 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 (starting in the basement/first floor and finishing on the top floor). You’ll 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)
