Project 14-2301
Streets affected: Royal Windsor Drive and Southdown Road
Construction work in your area
Peel Region will be installing new sanitary sewers along Royal Windsor Drive and Southdown Road, as shown on the attached map. 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 a drain or toilet. As our population grows, we need to build larger sewers to provide you with high-quality wastewater services.
Construction schedule
Construction is planned to start December 15, 2025 and finish in the end of 2026. These dates may change due to weather and other unexpected events. All work is warrantied for 2 years from the completion date.
What to expect during construction
Contractor working hours
The work will be completed by Pacific Paving Inc. and administered by consultant Arcadis Inc., both under contract to Peel Region. Working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday. These hours are consistent with local municipal bylaws and help shorten the amount of time construction is in your area.
Traffic and parking
We may need to temporarily close roads or reduce traffic to a single lane. If this is needed, we will place signs giving directions. On-street parking will be reduced when we are working on your street.
Vibrations, noise, and dust
You could feel slight vibrations and experience some minor noise and dust from construction work.
Construction safety
Construction zones require extra caution to keep everyone safe. Be aware of your surroundings when driving, walking, or biking near the construction area. Watch for construction crews and other road users, slow down, and consider other routes. Learn how to stay safe in construction zones.
Areas impacted
Installing sanitary sewers usually requires digging a trench within the municipal right-of-way. The municipal right-of-way 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 trench might cause temporary damage to roads, curbs, sidewalks, boulevards, lawns, and the bottom of driveways.
We may also repair or replace the municipal portion of the wastewater service pipe, the smaller underground pipe running from your home or business to Peel’s sanitary sewer system. This may require digging up either the lawn or driveway above this section of pipe and impacting an area of at least two square meters.
We recommend that you delay driveway paving or major landscaping projects until this work is completed. Any damage caused by our construction will be repaired.
In-ground sprinkler systems
Your front lawn may be affected, so we strongly recommend moving any sprinkler lines in the municipal right-of-way or next to the sidewalk. If you cannot move these sprinkler lines, send us your irrigation map or flag each sprinkler head within one meter of the sidewalk, curb, or driveway.
Tree protection and trimming
Trees in the municipal right-of-way will be protected using temporary fencing. Branches on public and private property will be pruned beforehand if they interfere with construction. The contractor will contact you before pruning any private property trees. If you do not allow the contractor on your property, the branches will be cut vertically at the property line.
Driveway access
We’ll knock on your door if we have to block your driveway for a short time. If a trench blocks your driveway access, the contractor will provide metal road plates. We will work to ensure businesses can be accessed. Contact us if you have any access needs.
Repairing impacted areas
Once the new sanitary sewer is buried and work has been completed on all wastewater pipes, we’ll repair the road, curb, sidewalk, driveways, and lawns.
Repairs may be delayed due to seasonal weather conditions. For example:
- Paving cannot take place when the ground is saturated with water, or the temperature is below 3C.
- Asphalt is not available in large volumes during the winter and usually becomes available in mid-May.
- Most sod (grass) farms have sod available beginning in late May. We replace sod until the middle of November, weather permitting, to let the roots grow. If we do not replace it by the middle of November, we’ll replace it the following spring.
Repairing grassy areas
The contractor will replace any damaged sod on the boulevard or your front lawn and will take care of it for 30 days. You can help the sod stay healthy by watering it. A longer watering works better than watering more frequently for a shorter time. Early morning watering allows more water to soak in.
Temporary restoration
The City of Mississauga is planning to complete road work on Royal Windsor Drive and Southdown Road within the next few years. If this work impacts driveways, curbs, sidewalks, and lawns next to the sidewalk, we will:
- Only pave the areas of the street directly impacted.
- Use asphalt to fix damaged sidewalks and curbs.
- Patch your driveway to cover any places we impacted, as the future road work may affect the bottom of your driveway. After the city paves your street, the driveway will be repaired by paving a strip over the impacted area, resulting in minimal seams.
Peel Region repairs are temporary, as the City of Mississauga will complete restoration as part of their road work. They will send you a separate notice about their construction.

At the end of construction, we’ll invite you to provide feedback on your experience. We understand construction can be disruptive, and we appreciate your patience as we work to improve our community’s infrastructure. This work both maintains and improves Peel’s world-class water systems, allowing us to provide reliable wastewater services to support a thriving community for life.
