Watermain replacement and improvement

Airport Road, Calmon Drive and Victoria Crescent. Project 20-1370 A-2

Project updates

The Region of Peel will be working to replace the watermain on Airport Rd, Calmon Dr and Victoria Cr, as shown in the attached map. Watermains are underground pipes. They 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.

Project details

The work will be completed by Accurate HD Ltd under contract to the Region of Peel. This work will be completed underground in tunnels, and will not require digging trenches in your neighbourhood. Aboveground construction activities will be mainly limited to a few fenced areas which will provide access for the tunneling equipment to enter the tunnel.

Construction schedule

Construction is planned to begin by approximately September 06th, 2022 and be completed by late November 2022.

Working hours

Our contractor’s 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. We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but shorter working days would require this area to be under construction for a longer period of time.

Traffic impacts

We may need to temporarily close roads or reduce traffic to a single lane during construction. If we must reroute traffic, we will place signs giving directions. On-street parking will be reduced during construction when we are actively working on your street.

Interrupting your water supply

It is our goal to let you know 48 hours (2 days) in advance if we plan to shut off your water for an extended period (several hours). Occasionally we may have to reduce this notice to 24 hours.

If we need to shut off your water for a short duration (less than one hour), we will knock on your door to notify you.

If we must shut off your water due to an emergency, we will knock on your door to alert you, and do everything we can to fix the problem as quickly as possible.

Safety during construction

Construction zones require extra caution to keep everyone safe – pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and construction workers. When driving, walking, or biking through the construction area, please be aware of your surroundings, watch for construction crews and other road users, slow down, account for delays, and consider other routes if possible.

Keeping you informed

We will let you know if there are any major changes to the plans.

Thank you for your patience as we complete this necessary work. This work will allow us to continue providing you with high quality tap water. If you have any questions, please contact us.
