Project 22-2255 – March 30, 2026 update
Street affected: Sherway Drive
Field investigation notice
Peel Region has identified the need for upgrades to the sanitary sewer and watermain system along The Queensway.
Watermains are underground pipes that bring tap water from our water treatment facility to your neighbourhood. As pipes age and our population grows, we need to replace them to provide you with high quality water. 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. As pipes age and our population grows, we need to replace them to provide you with high-quality wastewater services.
We will be in your neighbourhood conducting a geotechnical field investigation near the Etobicoke Creek, entering through Sherway Drive. The investigation area is shown on the attached map.
- We will survey the area and use temporary spray paint or flags to locate underground gas, hydro, and cable.
- We will drill holes in within the investigation area to collect soil samples, determine ground conditions, or confirm utility locations.
- We will take pictures and videos to help restore the area as close as possible to its former condition, after construction takes place.
We expect these activities to take place between March 30th, 2026 to May 15th, 2026. Tree removals and protection within the investigation area will take place in advance of the geotechnical investigation work.
Consultant working hours
The work will be completed by Atkins Realis 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.
Tree protection, removals and trimming
Trees in the area will be protected using temporary fencing. Some trees within the park area will need to be removed as they conflict with the proposed investigation work. All tree removals have been reviewed with City of Mississauga Forestry and park staff.
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.
Traffic impacts
There may be minor traffic disruptions during these activities. If this is needed, we will place signs giving directions.
