Sanitary sewer service interruption notice – Sanitary sewer relining project
Exeter Place, Edenborough Drive and Edgebrook Crescent. Project 20-1340B
Dear resident,
The Region of Peel is working in your neighbourhood to replace the existing sanitary sewer on Exeter Place, Edenborough Drive and Edgebrook Crescent. Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from your home to a wastewater treatment plant. Wastewater is created when water is flushed down the toilet goes down the sink, tub, or shower drain.
Upcoming sanitary sewer service interruption
In order to complete this work, your wastewater service pipe will be out of service (plugged) for approximately 3 hours on January 31, 2023 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (Wastewater service pipes carry wastewater from your home to the underground sanitary sewer system.) This temporary interruption allows for the pipe to be repaired without digging up the street.
It is important to minimize your water use during this work:
- You may continue to wash your hands but minimize your water use.
- Do not use showers, bathtubs, dishwashers, or your washing machine.
- Keep toilet flushing to a bare minimum.
These actions will reduce the possibility of sewage backing up into your basement or into your plumbing. If you have a sump pump, please notify us, or tell the contractor when they arrive at your property. The contractor completing this work is LiquiForce, under contract 20-1340 B.
Odours
You may smell some odours while the synthetic resin inside the sewer cures. These odours are temporary and will dissipate within a few hours. You can prevent or minimize these odours by making sure you have water in all of your drains, including your basement floor drain. We recommend pouring a bucket of water down the floor drain and running the water in all sinks, showers, and tubs for a minute, either the evening before or day of the relining work.
Keeping you informed
We will let you know if there are any major changes to the plans. If the timing of the sanitary sewer interruption changes, we will knock on your door to let you know.
Thank you for your patience as we complete this necessary work. This work will allow us to continue providing you with high quality wastewater services. If you have any questions, please contact us.
