Project 20-2450
Streets affected: Sun Pac Boulevard, Edvac Drive, Humberwest Parkway, Exchange Drive, Goreway Drive, and Auction Lane
Peel Region will be rehabilitating the sanitary sewer and maintenance holes (commonly called manholes) along Sun Pac Boulevard, Edvac Drive, Humberwest Parkway, Exchange Drive, Goreway Drive, and Auction Lane, as indicated on the map. Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from your home or business to a water resource recovery facility. Wastewater is created when water goes down a drain or toilet.
We’ll clean the sewer pipe and place a new resin (plastic) lining inside it to extend its life. This work will be completed underground and will not require digging trenches in your area.
Rehabilitating maintenance holes ensures the sanitary sewers can continue to be accessed and maintained. Our work mostly involves repairing and maintaining holes. When we need to fully or partially replace one, we’ll share additional information with affected residents and businesses before the work starts.
Construction schedule
Construction is planned to start in the second week of October 2025 and finish by Spring 2026. During this time:
- We’ll reline the sanitary sewer in sections and spend approximately 2 weeks in each location.
- It usually takes up to 3 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 3 to 5 days.
All work is warranted for 2 years from the completion date.
Contractor working hours
The work will be completed by Capital Sewer Services Inc. under contract to Peel Region. Working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday. These hours are consistent with local municipal bylaws and help reduce the construction time in your area.
Under the City of Brampton Noise Bylaw, work will be allowed to take place on Saturdays and overnight (between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.) to reduce the impact of our work. It will take place on Humberwest Parkway and near Queen Street East, intermittently between November 2025 and February 2026.
Traffic and parking
- Edvac Drive will be temporarily reduced to a single shared lane between Automatic Road and Williams Parkway, and Sun Pac Boulevard will be temporarily reduced to a single shared lane between Williams Parkway and Progress Court. Where a single lane is shared with oncoming traffic, yield to oncoming traffic as stated by the road signs. These impacts will take place from October 2025 with intermittent lane closures until February 2026.
- Goreway Drive will be reduced to a single shared lane between Yorkland Boulevard and Humberwest Parkway. Where a single lane is shared with oncoming traffic, please yield to oncoming traffic as stated by the road signs. These impacts will take place from October 2025 with intermittent lane closures until February 2026.
- Exchange Drive will be reduced to a single shared lane between Humberwest Parkway and Sun Pac Boulevard. Where a single lane is shared with oncoming traffic, yield to oncoming traffic as stated by the road signs. These impacts will take place from October 2025 with intermittent lane closures until February 2026.
- Southbound Humberwest Parkway will be temporarily reduced to 2 lanes from Williams Parkway to Exchange Drive. This lane reduction will take place from November 2025 until February 2026. Southbound Humberwest Parkway will be reduced to 2 lanes from Bretlon Street to Queen Street East from October 2025, with intermittent lane closures until February 2026. Northbound Humberwest Parkway will be reduced to a single lane from Queen Street East to Bretlon Street from October 2025 with intermittent lane closures until February 2026.
- Auction Lane will be reduced to a single shared lane between Goreway Drive and Queen Street East. Where a single lane is shared with oncoming traffic, yield to oncoming traffic as stated by the road signs. These impacts will take place from October 2025 with intermittent lane closures until February 2026.
Expect delays and choose alternate routes if possible. During this time, traffic will be directed by police officers or flag persons. The onsite contractor will guide emergency service vehicles and school buses through the closure.
Waste collection
If you receive Peel waste collection, your garbage, recycling, and organics will be picked up on your regularly scheduled day. It’s the contractor’s responsibility to move these bins from the end of your driveway to a location where waste collection vehicles can pick them up. Make sure your house number is marked on each bin, so they are returned to the correct address.
Vibrations, noise, and dust
You could feel slight vibrations and experience some minor noise and dust from construction work.
Odours
You may smell odours which will go away within a few hours. You can prevent or minimize this by pouring a bucket of water down the basement floor drain and running water in all sinks, showers, and tubs for a minute, either the evening before or the day of the relining work. If this is not possible (for example, if it is currently covered by flooring), we strongly recommend making it accessible before construction begins to reduce odours.
Construction safety
Construction zones require extra caution to keep everyone safe. Be aware of your surroundings when driving, walking, or biking near the construction area. Watch for construction crews and other road users, slow down, and consider other routes.

Areas impacted
Repairing a maintenance hole often requires digging a large hole around it. They are usually located within the municipal right-of-way. This includes the street and the municipal-owned land between the street and the water service box, a small, round, metal valve located outside on the property line between your home or business and the road. If maintenance holes are not within the right-of-way, Peel Region has obtained legal access through easements.
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 our construction will be repaired.
Use the interactive map to see if maintenance hole work is planned for your area.
In-ground sprinkler systems
If you’re notified that your front lawn may be affected and you have an in-ground sprinkler system, we strongly recommend moving any sprinkler lines in the municipal right-of-way or within one meter of the maintenance hole. If you cannot move these sprinkler lines, send us your irrigation map or flag each sprinkler head within one meter of the sidewalk, curb, or driveway.
Tree trimming
Branches on public and private property will be pruned beforehand if they interfere with construction. The contractor will contact you before pruning any private property trees. If you do not allow the contractor on your property, the branches will be cut vertically at the property line.
Driveway access
We’ll knock on your door if we have to block your driveway for a short time. We will work to ensure businesses can be accessed. Contact us if you have any access needs.
Repairing impacted areas
Once we have finished maintenance holes and sanitary sewer work, we’ll repair the road, curb, sidewalk, driveways, and lawns.
Repairs may be delayed due to 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 and usually becomes available in mid-May.
- Most sod (grass) farms have sod available beginning in late May. We replace sod until the middle of November, weather permitting, to let the roots grow. If we do not replace it by the middle of November, we’ll replace it the following spring.
Repairing grassy areas
The contractor will replace any damaged sod on the boulevard or your front lawn and will take care of it for 30 days. You can help the sod stay healthy by watering it. A longer watering works better than watering more frequently for a shorter time. Early morning watering allows more water to soak in.
Repairing driveways
- Asphalt driveways: If we need to cut a section of your driveway, it will be repaired by paving a strip over the impacted area, resulting in minimal seams. Peel Region cannot replace your entire driveway.
- Interlock or concrete driveways: If we damage a portion of your driveway, our contractor will repair the damaged portion.

We value your feedback
At the end of construction, we’ll invite you to provide feedback on your experience. We understand 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 systems, allowing us to provide reliable wastewater services to support a thriving community for life.
