Project 25-1301 – February 24, 2026 update
Streets affected: Various locations
Project update
Peel Region was replacing the water service pipe that carries water to your property from the watermain under your street. Watermains are underground pipes that bring tap water from Peel Region’s water treatment facility to your neighbourhood.
Your water service pipe will be replaced to prevent freezing issues that have been associated with your property in the past. This work is required to keep providing you with high-quality water services.
Schedule for remaining construction and repair work
Construction was paused due to freezing temperatures. We expect to start again in early March 2026. This work will be completed one street at a time. Once the underground work is completed on all streets, we’ll begin repairing impacted driveways, boulevards, sod (grass), roads, curbs, and sidewalks. We expect construction and repair work to be finished by late June 2026. Timelines may change due to weather and other unexpected events. All work is warranted for two years from the completion date.
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 are repaired.
Contractor working hours
The work will be completed by Rymall Construction Inc. 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 neighborhood.
Interrupting your water supply
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 your street.
Interrupting your water supply
We may need to temporarily shut off your water.
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.
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. Learn more about staying safe in work zones.
