Project 19-2410 February 20, 2025 update

Sanitary sewer relining and maintenance hole rehabilitation

Streets affected: Ninth Line

Previous notices

Construction work starting in your neighbourhood

Peel Region is working in your neighbourhood to rehabilitate the existing sanitary sewer system and maintenance holes (commonly called manholes) as shown on the attached map. Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from your home to a water resource recovery facility. Wastewater is created when water is flushed down the toilet, or goes down the drain in your sink, tub, or shower.

To extend the service life of the sewer under these streets, Peel Region’s contractors will clean the existing sewer pipe and place a new resin (plastic) lining within it. This work will be completed underground with specialized equipment and will not require digging trenches in your neighbourhood.

As part of this project, we will also repair some sections of the sanitary sewer and repair or replace aging maintenance holes. This work will ensure the sanitary sewer system can continue to be accessed and maintained from the maintenance holes. Most our work will involve repairing maintenance holes. When we need to partially replace the maintenance hole, we will share additional information with affected residents and businesses before the work begins.

Construction schedule

Construction on Ninth Line is planned to begin in March 2025 and will be completed in early 2026. During this time, our crew may be working near your home or business for a few weeks:

  • We will reline the sanitary sewer in sections and may spend approximately two to three days in each location to complete relining work.
  • It typically takes a few hours to three days to repair a single maintenance hole, depending on the work required. When the maintenance hole needs to be completely replaced, this work may take three to five days.

All work is under warranty for two years from the completion date.

There will also be construction on Erin Centre Boulevard as part of this project. This work will begin at a later date, and we will notify you closer to then.

Contractor and working hours

The work will be completed by Capital Sewer Services Inc. and supported by consultant AECOM Canada Ltd., both under contract to Peel Region.

The City of Mississauga, under the Noise Control Bylaw, is allowing work to be carried out by our contractor continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This 24/7 work is expected to begin February 27, 2025, and be completed by May 30, 2025. Continuous work reduces the amount of time your area is under construction. During this time, we do not anticipate there to be significant noise. Efforts will be made to reduce impacts to residents by restricting the delivery and removal of materials to the hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Traffic impacts

At this stage in the project, temporary road closures and lane reductions will be required to complete this work.

The following is the list of expected road closures.

March 20 to April 7, 2025

May 5 to May 7, 2025

May 8 to May 28, 2025

May 29, 2025

A detour route will be clearly marked with road signs. The following is the list of expected lane reductions.

March 20 to March 25, 2025

  • Britannia Road West will be reduced by one lane in each direction between Ninth Line and Maple Gate Circle.

March 20 to April 10, 2025

  • Ninth Line will be reduced to a single lane in each direction between Parkgate Drive and Britannia Road West.
  • Ninth Line will be reduced to a single lane in each direction between Britannia Road West and McDowell Drive.

April 8 to April 10, 2025

  • Britannia Road West will have reduced lanes in each direction between Ninth Line and Maple Gate Circle.

April 14 to May 6, 2025

  • Ninth Line will be reduced by one lane between Brinwood Gate and Thomas Street.
  • Ninth Line will be reduced by one lane between Thomas Street and DeepwoodHeights.

May 8 to May 28, 2025

  • Ninth Line will be reduced to a single lane in each direction between Tacc Drive and Burdette Crescent.

Where a single lane is shared with oncoming traffic, please be sure to yield to oncoming traffic as stated by the road signs.

During this time, traffic will be directed by police officers or flag persons. Emergency service vehicles and school buses will be permitted to cross through the closure with guidance from the onsite contractor provided that the road is intact.

We apologize for any delays or inconvenience resulting from these traffic impacts.

Trail access

Lisgar Meadow Brook trail will remain open for the duration of this project. We will let you know ahead of time if this changes.

Wastewater service interruptions

To complete this work, your wastewater service pipe may be out of service (plugged) for several hours. (Wastewater service pipes carry wastewater from your home to the underground sanitary sewer system). This temporary service interruption allows for the pipe to be repaired without digging up the street. To advise you of the exact date and time of this service interruption, Insituform will provide you with notice at least 24 hours before the lining process begins.

It is important to minimize your water use while the sewer work is underway:

  • You may continue to wash your hands but minimize your water use.
  • Do not use showers, bathtubs, dishwashers, or your washing machine.
  • Keep toilet flushing to a bare minimum.

These actions will reduce the possibility of wastewater (also known as sewage) backing up into your basement or into your plumbing. If you have a sump pump, please notify us atconstruction@peelregion.caor tell the contractor when they arrive at your property.

Odours

You may smell some odours while the synthetic resin inside the sewer cures. These odours are temporary and will dissipate within a few hours. You can prevent or minimize these odours by making sure you have water in all of your drains, including your basement floor drain. We recommend pouring a bucket of water down the floor drain and running the water in all sinks, showers, and tubs for a minute, either the evening before or day of the relining work. If you are not able to put water down your floor drain (for example, if it is currently covered by flooring), we strongly recommend making it accessible before relining work begins to reduce the level of odours in your home.

Driveway access

It may be necessary to block your driveway for a short time when crews are relining the sewer, working on the maintenance holes, or repairing the resulting damage to the road. If so, we will knock on your door to notify you. Whenever possible, we will work to ensure businesses can be accessed. Please contact us if you have special needs related to access.

Areas impacted by construction

Repairing maintenance holes often requires digging around the existing maintenance holes to install new parts. These maintenance holes are usually located within the municipal right-of-way, which includes the street and the land owned by the municipality between the street and your water service box. (The water service box is a small, round, metal valve located outside, on the property line between your house and the road.) If maintenance holes are not within the right-of-way, Peel Region has obtained legal access through easements.

Depending on the location of the maintenance hole, this work may cause temporary damage to roads, curbs, sidewalks, boulevards, driveway aprons, and lawns within the municipal right-of-way or easement. Any damage caused by Regional construction will be repaired.

Repairing areas impacted by construction

We will start repairing any affected areas of the road, curb, sidewalk, driveways, and lawns once we have finished our work on the sewer and maintenance holes. Repairs may be delayed due to contractor availability or certain seasonal weather conditions.

For example:

  • Paving cannot take place when the ground is saturated with water, or the temperature is below 3°C.
  • Asphalt is not available in large volumes during the winter. Asphalt usually becomes available around mid-May.
  • Most sod farms are located north of Peel. They usually have sod available beginning in late May. We will replace the sod on your property once it is available. 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.

Repairing grassy areas

If this construction work impacts the boulevard or your lawn, the contractor will replace any damaged sod (grass) and will take care of the new sod for 30 days. You can help the sod stay healthy by watering it. A longer ‘deep root watering’ works better to establish new sod than watering more frequently for a shorter time. Watering in the early morning allows more water to soak in instead of evaporating.

Repairing driveways

If the construction inspector notifies you that your driveway may be affected by this construction work, all damage caused by Regional construction will be repaired.

  • Asphalt driveways: If we need to cut a section of your driveway, the driveway will be repaired by paving a strip over the disturbed area, resulting in minimal seams in the final driveway. The Region of Peel cannot replace your entire driveway.
  • Interlock or concrete driveways: If we damaged a portion of your driveway, our contractor will reinstate the damaged portion of the driveway.

Waste collection

If you receive waste collection from Peel Region, and our construction work is happening in front of your home during your waste collection day, it is the contractor’s responsibility to move your garbage, recycling, and organics bins from the end of your driveway to a location where waste collection vehicles can pick them up. Empty containers will be returned to their corresponding addresses. Please make sure your house number is clearly marked on each bin. This helps us return empty bins to the correct address.

Vibrations

You could feel slight vibrations from the construction work.

Safety during construction

Construction zones require extra caution to keep everyone safe – pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and construction workers. When driving, walking, or biking through the construction area, please be aware of your surroundings, watch for construction crews and other road users, slow down, account for delays, and consider other routes if possible. Learn more about how to stay safe in construction zones.

We understand that 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 system, allowing us to provide reliable wastewater services to support a thriving community for life.
