Construction work in your area
Peel Region will be rehabilitating the sanitary sewers and maintenance holes along Bristol Rd W, Ceremonial Dr, Fairwind Dr, and the Hawthorne Valley trail, 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 goes down a drain or toilet. As pipes age, we need to rehabilitate or replace them to provide you with high-quality wastewater services.
To extend the service life of this sewer, Peel Region’s contractor will clean the existing pipe and install a new resin (plastic) lining inside it. This work is primarily completed using trenchless technology, which means the lining process will take place underground using specialized equipment and will not require open excavation along the length of the pipe.
Construction schedule
Construction is planned to start August 2025 and finish in by the end of 2025. These dates may change due to weather and other unexpected events. All work is warrantied for two years from the completion date.
Once the underground work is completed on all streets and trails, we’ll begin repairing impacted driveways, boulevards, sod (grass), roads, curbs, trails, and sidewalks.
What to expect during construction
Contractor working hours
The work will be completed by Insituform Technologies Ltd and supported by consultant Robinson Consultants Inc., 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.
To minimize the overall duration of construction impacts, the City of Mississauga, under Noise Control Bylaw 360-79, will provide an exemption to allow sanitary sewer lining and sewage flow bypass work to proceed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
It is estimated that ten 24-hour shifts will be required to complete the repairs outside the normal working hours. This continuous work is expected to occur in October 2025. Due to the technical requirements of the sewer lining process, work must proceed without interruption once started. By working continuously, we can significantly reduce the total time your area is affected by construction.
We understand that extended hours may cause some disruption to your daily routine, and we apologize for any inconvenience. Every effort will be made to minimize noise during overnight hours, including the use of noise-dampening equipment wherever possible.
Traffic and parking
We may need to temporarily close roads or reduce traffic to a single lane as shown in the attached map. If this is needed, we will place signs giving directions. On-street parking will be reduced when we are working on Bristol Rd W and Ceremonial Dr.
Temporary trail closures
The sanitary sewers run beneath Hawthorne Valley Trail, so temporary closures will be required until the end of 2025. Detour routes will be provided.
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. Please make sure your house number is marked on each bin, so they are returned to the right address.
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. To further minimize odours, you may choose to cover the floor drain with a wet cloth and place a flat, heavy object over the drain. 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.
Steam
You may see steam rising from various maintenance holes in roads or along the trails. After the liner is inserted into the host pipe, steam is introduced to raise the temperature inside the liner. This heat activates the thermosetting resin, initiating a chemical reaction that hardens it in place.
Vibrations, noise, and dust
You could feel slight vibrations and experience some minor noise and dust from construction work.
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. Visit work zone safety for more information.
Areas impacted
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 trails, roads, curbs, sidewalks, boulevards, driveway aprons, and lawns within the municipal right-of-way or easement.
We recommend that you delay driveway paving or major landscaping projects until this work is completed. Any damage caused by our construction will be repaired.
In-ground sprinkler systems
Your front lawn may be affected, so we strongly recommend moving any sprinkler lines in the municipal right-of-way or next to the sidewalk. 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 protection and trimming
Trees in the municipal right-of-way will be protected using temporary fencing. 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. Contact us if you have any access needs.
Repairing impacted areas
Once the sanitary sewer is rehabilitated and work has been completed on all wastewater pipes and maintenance holes, 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.
