Project 19-2158 – December 2025 update
As part of the Flow | Central Brampton Program, Peel Region is installing a new sanitary sewer under Malta Avenue, the multi-use pathway next to Fletcher’s Creek Senior Public School, and the easement next to Fletcher’s Creek.
Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from your home 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.
Upcoming work
For the rest of December, tunnelling continues from the shaft located at Azores Park toward the dead end on Malta Avenue, progressing toward Receiving Shaft 4.
Approximately 160 metres of tunnel is finished, which is just over the halfway mark. Crews will continue moving microtunnelling equipment along this route throughout December. All work zones are secure to keep the community safe.
No additional open-cut work or new activity areas are planned this month. Construction hours and traffic control will stay the same. Residents may notice trucks for soil removal and material deliveries, but no new impacts are expected. We will continue to monitor progress and help ensure that safety measures, particularly around the multi-use pathway, school zones, and nearby residential areas, remain in place.
Completed work
The microtunnelling operation from Manhole (MH) 5 toward MH6 (next to Fletcher’s Creek Senior Public School) is finished. Safety measures remained in place throughout the work to maintain secure pedestrian access and minimize disruption to school operations. This marks a significant milestone as we transition deeper into the tunnelling phase of the project.
The open-cut installation of the storm sewer at MH4 (where Malta Avenue meets Tina Court) is complete. This work was performed within the established construction compound and was coordinated to avoid impacts to nearby pathways and residential areas. Now crews will focus on the remaining tunnelling segments.
How you may be impacted by construction
Most sewer work is completed underground by tunnelling, which reduces the need for large open trenches along Malta Avenue, through the school yard, baseball diamonds, and park areas. During construction, you will notice the following:
- Traffic impacts are limited to specific locations, such as the shaft compound at Malta Avenue and Sir Lou Drive, which is set up off the road as much as possible.
- The sidewalk in front of Azores Park and the baseball diamond near MH7 will be closed for safety. Pedestrians are encouraged to use nearby crosswalks to go around the intersection. Flag persons will help pedestrians and drivers during deliveries and construction equipment movements to help ensure safety.
- Water service interruptions are not expected. If there is an emergency, service will be restored quickly to minimize inconvenience.
Please use extra caution when driving near the construction zone, watch for trucks entering or exiting the work area, and follow posted pedestrian signs in the park.
We will share updates if there are major changes to the project schedule or activities.
