Streets affected: Burnhamthorpe Road from Central Parkway E to Little Etobicoke Creek, Wilcox Road, Tomken Road, Runningbrook Drive

Notice of pre-design field investigation

Peel Region is investigating future improvement/rehabilitation of the sanitary sewer system in your area. Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from your home or business to a wastewater treatment plant. Wastewater is created when water goes down the drain or is flushed down the toilet. As pipes age and our population grows, we need to repair and replace older sewers to keep providing high quality wastewater services to you.

As we plan for future construction, we will be in your neighbourhood conducting field investigations along Burnhamthorpe Road from Central Parkway E to Little Etobicoke Creek, along Wilcox Road, Tomken Road and Runningbrook Drive.

• We will survey your street and use temporary spray paint or flags to mark the location of underground gas, hydro, and cable on roads, driveways, and lawns.
• We may drill holes to collect soil samples, determine ground conditions, or confirm utility locations. These holes may be drilled in the road or the municipal right-of-way, the land owned by the municipality between the street and your water service box. (A water service box is a small, round metal valve in your driveway or lawn that typically marks your front property line.)
• We will take pictures and record video to help ensure that we restore the area as close as possible to its former condition, after construction takes place.

We expect these activities to take place between start May 2024 and end September 2024.

Consultant and working hours

The work will be completed by consultants under contract to Peel Region. This consultant's normal working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday. These hours are consistent with the local municipality’s bylaws.

Traffic impacts

There may be minor traffic disruptions during these activities. If we must reroute traffic, we will place signs giving directions.
