Watermain system improvements
Update on construction in your area – South Sheridan Way, Indian Grove and Indian Road. Project 13-1347 H1
The Region of Peel is replacing aging watermain on Indian Grove as part of our maintenance program. The current watermain was installed in the 1950s and is at the end of its lifespan.
A larger watermain that provides water to the Lorne Park area will also be installed along with the smaller (local) watermain on Indian Grove. The local watermain is on one side of the street with the larger watermain to follow on the opposite side of the street.
Completed work
- The small local watermain was connected to the existing watermain on South Sheridan Way.
- The Contractor has installed the new large watermain on Indian Grove from South Sheridan Way to 1529 Indian Grove. This first section has been pressure tested and is in the process of being commissioned.
Coming up in the next two weeks
- The Contractor will continue to install the new large watermain on Indian Grove, working south/east towards Indian Road.
- The Contractor will finish installing a new valve and section of watermain on Indian Road.
- The Contractor will be working on Indian Grove at Indian Road for a few days to install a short section of the large watermain.
- The Contractor will start restorations on South Sheridan Way and a portion of Indian Grove, including concrete curb, sidewalk, and paving.
Anticipated completion
- We are on schedule to complete most of the work (including all digging) by the end of 2021. Some restoration work (i.e. sod and landscaping) may need to be completed in Spring 2022.
Reducing the impact of construction
- A road closure is in place on Indian Grove during construction. Residents will be allowed to access their properties, but no through traffic will be allowed.
- For everyone’s safety, please do not drive through the active construction area. Residents should access their property from the south end of Indian Grove if their property is south of the active construction area, and from the north end if their property is north of construction.
- We may need to block your driveway for a short time. We will contact you to arrange for the best time and for alternate access, if needed. Pedestrian access will always be maintained.
- We may need to temporarily shut off your water when connecting to the new watermain. It is our goal to let you know 48 hours (2 days) in advance if we need to do this. Occasionally, we may have to reduce this notice to 24 hours. We will do our best to notify you.
- If we must shut off your water because of an emergency, we will do everything we can to fix the problem as quickly as possible.
- We will let you know if there are any significant project changes.
In-ground sprinkler systems
- We recommend that you remove your sprinkler lines within 3 metres of the curb to avoid damage.
- Please email us if you would like to discuss your underground irrigation or sprinkler system outside your property line.
Did you know
- Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe is manufactured in different colours to help distinguish what is in the pipe. Blue is used for watermains and potable water, green is used for sanitary sewers and laterals, and white is used for storm sewers and laterals.
