Project 19-2410 January 28, 2025 update

Streets affected: Ninth Line, and Erin Centre Boulevard

Construction work starting in your neighbourhood

Peel Region will be 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 of 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 will begin in the Lisgar Meadow Brook Trail area in early February 2025.
• Construction on Ninth Line and Erin Centre Boulevard will begin at a later date. You will receive another notice for the work on these streets.
• All construction is expected to be completed in spring 2025.

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

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. This contractor’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. We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but shorter working days would require this work to affect your neighbourhood over a longer period of time.

We will need to complete some work overnight to reduce the impact on traffic congestion. We will notify affected residents and businesses before overnight work begins. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience caused by this work.

Trail access

Lisgar Meadow Brook trail will remain open for the duration of this project with temporary access and detour routes, as per the attached map.

Areas impacted by construction

Rehabilitating the sanitary sewer requires installing bypass pipes to carry the wastewater from one maintenance hole to another, allowing for clean, dry pipes to perform the work. It also requires digging around the existing maintenance holes to help with the bypass process. 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.

Traffic impacts

Temporary road closures and lane reductions will be required to complete this work. We will notify you closer to the start of any traffic impacts or road closures.

Vibrations

You could feel slight vibrations from the construction work.

Keeping you informed

Weather and other unpredictable events may change the date of these traffic impacts. Receive timely project updates right to your inbox by signing up for e-notices.

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.

Thank you for your patience as we complete this necessary work. This work will allow us to continue providing you with high quality wastewater services. If you have any questions, please contact us.
