Project 23-2150 - May 15, 2025 update
Streets affected: Knightsbridge Park, Kensington Road, and Kings Cross Road and Easement (north and parallel to Kensington Road)
Construction details
Peel Region will be replacing the sanitary sewer(s) in Knightsbridge Park, Kensington Road and Kings Cross Road and Easement (north and parallel to Kensington Road), as shown on the attached 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. As pipes age, we need to replace them to provide you with high-quality wastewater services.
Construction schedule
Construction is planned to start in June 2025 and finish in June 2026. These dates may change due to weather and other unexpected events. All work is warrantied for two years from the completion date.
What to expect during construction
Contractor working hours
The work will be completed by Nabolsy Contracting Inc. and designed by consultants Arcadis and Ainley Group, all 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 shorten the amount of time construction is in your area.
Under the City of Brampton Noise Bylaw, work is allowed to take place on Saturdays (between from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) to reduce the impact of our work.
Traffic and parking
We may need to temporarily close roads or reduce traffic to a single lane. If this is needed, we will place signs giving directions. On-street parking will be reduced when we are working on Kensington Road and Kings Cross Road.
Temporary trail and park closures
The sanitary sewer(s) run within Chinguacousy Trail and Knightsbridge Park, so temporary closures will be required from June 2025 to June 2026.
Interrupting your water supply
For residents:
- If we need to shut off your water for several hours, our goal is to let you know 48 hours (2 days) in advance. Sometimes, we must reduce this notice to 24 hours
- If we need to shut off your water for a short time (less than one hour), we’ll knock on your door.
- If we need to shut off your water due to an emergency, we’ll knock on your door and do everything we can to fix the problem quickly.
For businesses:
- If your business needs a continuous water supply and you have not already completed a water needs survey, please let us know when and how your business uses water.
If we need to shut off your water due to an emergency, we’ll knock on your door and do everything we can to fix the problem quickly.
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 peelregion.ca/workzonesafety for more information.
Areas impacted
Installing sanitary sewers usually requires digging a trench within the municipal right-of-way. The municipal right-of-way 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. This trench might cause temporary damage to roads, curbs, sidewalks, boulevards, lawns, and the bottom of driveways.
We may also repair or replace the municipal portion of the wastewater service pipe, the smaller underground pipe running from your home or business to Peel’s sanitary sewer system. This may require digging up either the lawn or driveway above this section of pipe and impacting an area of at least two square meters.
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.
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. If a trench blocks your driveway access, the contractor will provide metal road plates. We will work to ensure businesses can be accessed. Contact us if you have any access needs.
Repairing impacted areas
Once the new sanitary sewer is buried and work has been completed on all wastewater pipes, 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.

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.
