Project 20-2450

Sanitary sewer improvement

Streets affected: Edvac Drive, Sun Pac Boulevard, Humberwest Parkway, Queen Street East, Auction Lane, Goreway Drive, Intermodal Drive, Midair Court, Walker Drive, Van Der Graaf Court, Airport Road, Steeles Avenue East, and Torbram Road (Brampton)

Peel Region is planning to rehabilitate sanitary sewer pipes and maintenance holes in your area within the next two years, as shown on the attached maps:

Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from your home or business to a wastewater treatment plant. Wastewater is created when water goes down the drain or is flushed down the toilet. As pipes age and our population grows, we need to replace older sewers to keep providing high quality wastewater services to you.

Important note

This upcoming construction will take place in the municipal right-of-way and within permanent easements.

  • The municipal right-of way includes the street and the land owned by your city between the street and your water service box (small, round metal valve in either your driveway or lawn).
  • An easement is where Peel Region has obtained legal access to enter your property for the purposes of maintaining and improving Regional infrastructure.

This work may impact traffic flow along your street, areas behind your property within the Region’s permanent sewer easement and may include vehicular access through your property to the easement. We therefore recommend delaying any major landscaping or driveway paving until after this construction has been completed.

Before construction begins

Before we start construction, you may notice several activities in your area:

  1. We may survey your street and areas within the Region’s permanent sewer easement and use temporary spray paint or flags to mark the location of underground gas, hydro, and cable on roads, driveways, and lawns.
  2. We may drill holes in the road or municipal right-of-way (the land between the street and your water service box) to collect soil samples, determine ground conditions, or confirm utility locations.
  3. We will take pictures and record video to help us restore the area as close as possible to its former condition, after construction takes place.

We expect these activities to take place between October 2023 and September 2024.

Keeping you informed

We are currently in the early planning stages, so we cannot give exact dates for when we will do the work. In addition, as your city’s future planning activities may change, we may alter our plans to improve sanitary sewers in your neighbourhood. We will deliver more detailed information to your home or business closer to the proposed construction date.
