Project 25-1301
Streets affected: Various locations in Brampton, Mississauga and Caledon
Peel Region is planning to replace the water service pipe to your home within the next two years Water service pipes are underground pipes that bring tap water from our watermains to your property. To complete this work, we will also need to replace your water service box (the small, round metal valve in either your driveway or lawn). We are completing this work to prevent future freezing issues which have been associated with your property’s water service pipe in the past.
Important note
This upcoming construction will take place at your property line and in the municipal right-of-way. The municipal right-of-way includes the street and the land owned by your city between the street and your water service box (small, round metal valve in either your driveway or lawn). This work may impact the bottom of your driveway and the area around the sidewalk. We therefore recommend delaying any major landscaping or driveway paving until after this construction has been completed.
Before construction begins
Before we start construction, you may notice several activities in your area:
- We will survey your street and use temporary spray paint or flags to mark the location of underground gas, hydro, and cable on roads, driveways, and lawns.
- We may drill holes in the road or municipal right-of-way (the land between the street and your water service box) to collect soil samples, determine ground conditions, or confirm utility locations.
- We will take pictures and record video to help us restore the area as close as possible to its former condition, after construction takes place.
We expect these activities to take place between spring 2025 and fall 2025.
Keeping you informed
We are currently in the early planning stages, so we can’t give exact dates for when we will do the work.
In addition, as your city’s / town’s future planning activities may change, we may alter our plans to replace your water service. We will deliver more detailed information to your home closer to the proposed construction date.
