    Project 22-2307 - October 10, 2023 update

    Sanitary sewer maintenance hole replacement

    Streets affected: Various streets

    Peel Region will be working in your neighbourhood to replace a maintenance hole (commonly called a manhole). This work will ensure the sanitary sewer system can continue to be accessed and maintained from the maintenance holes.

    Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from your home to a wastewater treatment plant. Wastewater is created when water is flushed down the toilet, or goes down the drain in your sink, tub, or shower.

    Location of work

    This construction work will include partially replacing a maintenance hole located near Braemore Road and Dusty Lane in Brampton, as shown in the map.

    Construction schedule

    This work is planned to begin October 21, 2023, and be completed at the end of October or early November 2023.

    These timelines are estimates, as weather and other unexpected events may impact our timelines.

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

    Contractor and working hours

    The work will be completed by Michels Canada and supported by Andrews.Engineer, 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 your area to be under construction for a longer period of time.

    Traffic and parking

    At this stage of the project, a temporary lane reduction will be required to complete this work.

    The intersection of Braemore Road and Dusty Lane will be reduced to a single shared lane, as shown in the map below. During this time, traffic will be directed by flag persons. These lane reductions are expected to occur from 7 a.m. on October 23 until 7 p.m. on October 31, 2023. Please expect delays and choose alternate routes if possible.

    On-street parking will be reduced during construction when we are actively working on your street.

    We apologize for any delays or inconvenience resulting from these traffic impacts.

    Driveway access

    If your driveway is located very close to the maintenance hole under construction, it may be necessary to block your driveway for a short time when crews are working on the maintenance hole or repairing the resulting damage to the road. If so, we will knock on your door to notify you. Whenever possible, we will work to ensure businesses can be accessed. Please contact us if you have special needs related to access.

    Areas impacted by construction

    To complete this work, we will need to dig a large hole around the existing maintenance hole, at least 3 metres by 4 metres in size. This work may cause temporary damage to roads, curbs, sidewalks, boulevards, and lawns within the municipal right-of-way. The right-of-way includes the street and the land owned by the municipality between the street and private property. Any damage caused by Regional construction will be repaired.

    Repairing areas impacted by construction

    We will start repairing any affected areas of the road, curb, sidewalk, driveways, and lawns once we have replaced the maintenance hole. Repairs may be delayed due to contractor availability or certain 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. Asphalt usually becomes available around mid-May.
    • Most sod farms are located north of Peel. They usually have sod available beginning in late May. We will replace affected sod once it is available. We replace sod only until the middle of November, weather permitting, to let the sod grow roots. If we do not replace damaged grass by the middle of November, we’ll replace the sod the following spring.

    Repairing grassy areas

    If this construction work impacts the boulevard or your lawn, the contractor will replace any damaged sod (grass) and will take care of the new sod for 30 days. You can help the sod stay healthy by watering it. A longer ‘deep root watering’ works better to establish new sod than watering more frequently for a shorter time. Watering in the early morning allows more water to soak in instead of evaporating.

    Waste collection

    If you receive waste collection from Peel Region, and our construction work is happening in front of your home during your waste collection day, it is the contractor’s responsibility to move your garbage, recycling, and organics bins from the end of your driveway to a location where waste collection vehicles can pick them up. Empty containers will be returned to their corresponding addresses. Please make sure your house number is clearly marked on each bin. This helps us return empty bins to the correct address.

    Vibrations

    You could feel slight vibrations from the construction work.

    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.
