Project 18-1310 C2 - September 25, 2025 update

Streets affected: Dundas Street East

Notice of restoration

Peel Region will be repairing driveways, roads, and sod (grass), following the replacement of the watermain along Dundas Street East between Dixie Road and Summerville Court / Universal Drive.

Restoration schedule

Restoration work will start in the beginning of October on all roads on which we have replaced the watermain on this project. We plan to complete all work by the end of October 2025, weather permitting.

Restoration will begin with driveway and road paving repairs and finally sod replacement. This will take approximately 4 weeks.

Please note that repairs may be delayed due to contractor availability or weather conditions.

For example:

• Paving cannot take place when the ground is saturated with water, or the temperature is below 3°C.
• We replace sod only until the middle of November, weather permitting, to let the sod grow roots. If we do not repair your lawn by the middle of November, we’ll replace the sod the following spring.

Contractor working hours

The work will be completed by Moretti Excavation Ltd. 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

There may be lane reductions while we work on your street. If this is needed, we will place signs giving directions. On-street parking will be reduced when we are working on your street.

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 more about how to stay safe in construction zones.

In-ground sprinkler systems

If the area in front of your business was affected by construction, in-ground sprinkler lines may be impacted during the upcoming restoration work. We strongly recommend moving any sprinkler lines in the municipal right-of-way or next to the sidewalk. 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.

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. This will allow us to minimize the impact to your sprinkler system.

Driveway access and parking

We may block your driveway for a short time to pave the road. We’ll ensure businesses can be accessed when possible. Contact us if you have any access needs.

Avoid parking on your driveway when it is being repaired. Avoid driving on new asphalt for the first three hours and parking on it for one day after paving.

Replacing 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.

Repairing roads

We’ll pave the road where it was affected by construction. This work will start around October 1, weather permitting. We’ll deliver more detailed information closer to the start date.

Warranty on construction repairs

All work is warrantied for two years from the completion date.

It is normal for repaired areas to settle. Let us know if you notice large potholes forming where the driveway, street, or lawn was repaired, and we’ll ensure these are fixed before the warranty period ends. Once the warranty period is over, Peel is no longer responsible for fixing potholes or dead sod in these locations.
