Project 14-1375A
Street affected: McVean Drive
Construction update
Peel Region will be replacing the watermains in your area within the next two years. This area map indicates the area of construction on McVean Drive from south of Countryside Drive to north of Castlemore Road. Watermains are underground pipes that bring tap water from our water treatment facility to your neighbourhood. As pipes age, we need to replace them to provide you with high-quality water.
Important note
Construction will take place in the municipal right-of-way. This includes the street and the municipal-owned land between the street and the water service box, a small, round, metal valve located outside on the property line between your home or business and the road. This work may impact the bottom of your driveway and the area around the sidewalk. We recommend that you delay major landscaping or driveway paving until construction is completed.
Before construction begins
Before construction starts:
- We’ll use spray paint or flags on roads, driveways, and lawns to locate underground gas, hydro, and cable.
- We may drill holes in the road or municipal right-of-way to collect soil samples, determine ground conditions, or confirm utility locations.
- We’ll take pictures and videos to help restore the area as close as possible to its former condition, after construction.
We expect these activities to happen between September 2025 and December 2025.
What to expect during construction
Refer to our short video to learn what to expect before, during, and after watermain construction. The video also answers common questions about:
- Why your water may be temporarily shut off.
- How traffic, parking, and waste collection may be affected.
- How driveways, roads, and sod (grass) are repaired.
Keeping you informed
We’re currently in the early planning stages, so we cannot give exact dates. As your city’s future planning activities may change, we may also update our plans to replace watermains. We’ll deliver more detailed information closer to the start of construction.
