Project 19-1156
Project update
Streets affected: Centre Street, Church Street, Main Street, Sproule Drive, Bird Avenue, John Street.
Peel Region is investigating future improvement of the watermain system in your area. Watermains are underground pipes that bring tap water from our water treatment plants to your neighbourhood. As pipes age and our population grows, we need to replace older watermains to keep providing high quality water to you, view attached map.
As we plan for future construction, we will be in your neighbourhood conducting field investigations along the above noted streets.
- 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 will drill holes to collect soil samples, determine ground conditions, or confirm utility locations. These holes may be drilled in the road or the municipal right-of-way, the land owned by the municipality between the street and your water service box. (A water service box is a small, round metal valve in your driveway or lawn that typically marks your front property line.)
- We will take pictures and record video to help ensure that we restore the area as close as possible to its former condition, after construction takes place.
Consultant and working hours
The work will be coordinated by R.V. Anderson Associates Limited and will be completed by various subcontractors all under contract to Peel Region. Our 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.
Traffic impacts
There may be minor traffic disruptions during these activities. If we must reroute traffic, we will place signs giving directions.
