Project 25-1251 - July 6, 2026 update
Streets affected: Queen Street East from Centre Street to Dixie Road, Hansen Road North and Rutherford Road North from Queen Street East to Archdekin Drive
Field investigation update
As part of the Flow | Central Brampton Program, Peel Region will be installing new watermains and sanitary sewers in your area.
- Watermains are underground pipes that bring tap water from our water treatment facility to your area.
- 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 water and wastewater services.
We will be in your neighbourhood conducting field investigations along Queen Street East from Centre Street to Dixie Road, and along Hansen Road North and Rutherford Road North, from Queen Street East to Archdekin Drive.
- We will survey your street and use temporary spray paint or flags on roads, driveways, and lawns to locate underground gas, hydro, and cable.
- We may drill holes in the road or municipal right-of-way to collect soil samples, determine ground conditions, or confirm utility locations. 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.
- 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 happen between July 2026 and December 2026.
Consultant working hours
The work will be completed by various contractors under contract to Peel Region. Additional investigation consultants are still to be confirmed. Working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday. These hours are consistent with local municipal bylaws.
Traffic impacts
There will be minor traffic disruptions during these activities. We will place signs giving directions, as needed.
What to expect during construction
Refer to our short video to learn what to expect before, during, and after watermain construction. The video also answers common questions about:
- Why your water may be temporarily shut off.
- How traffic, parking, and waste collection may be affected.
- How driveways, roads, and sod (grass) are repaired.
