Project 19-2158 – March 2026 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.
Current work
In March, work has focused on installing and connecting underground access structures that will allow for ongoing maintenance of the sewer system. Crews are completing pipe connections and doing pressure testing to confirm the system is working as intended. Residents may notice more activity above ground while these structures are installed and tested, but the work remains contained within the access compounds.
Upcoming work
In April, crews will begin the final phase of construction. This work includes adding protective linings inside key underground structures to help prevent corrosion and extend the lifespan of the system. Crews will complete the final pipe connections and do additional pressure testing to confirm the system is sealed and working as designed. In May, they will complete detailed inspections and any remaining touch-up repairs to the tunnel lining to support long-term stability.
Work areas, including the access shafts, will then be taken apart and filled in. Once underground work is complete, crews will remove the temporary construction compounds and restore affected areas, including the roadway, park spaces and the pathway. Crews are expected to finish work at the Malta and Sir Lou intersection compound this month and remove equipment from the area. Restoration will continue when weather conditions are right to support healthy regrowth and long-lasting repairs.
Completed work
In February, crews completed a key section of underground tunnelling and installed a new section of sewer pipe using trenchless construction. This approach helps minimize disruption at the surface. Crews also strengthened the tunnel lining with targeted repairs and sealed the space around the pipe to provide long-term stability. The work zone was cleared and prepared for the next phase of construction, including removing some trees to support safe access and future site restoration.
Staying safe during construction
As the project moves into its final stages, you may notice short-term impacts near active work areas and temporary construction compounds. Some sidewalks and pathways near Azores Park and Fletcher’s Creek Senior Public School may remain closed or detoured, with signs and flag persons in place to help guide pedestrians and traffic safely.
You may also see crews, equipment, and trucks as final work, testing, and site restoration are completed. Minor noise, vibration, and dust may still occur.
Water service interruptions are not expected. If an emergency occurs, service will be restored as quickly as possible.
Please use caution when travelling near construction zones, follow posted signs, and watch for construction vehicles. Updates will be shared if there are any significant changes.
