Watermain replacements
Glen Erin Drive, Assignment A Project 21-1310A
Project updates
The Region of Peel will be working to replace the watermain on Glen Erin Drive. Watermains are underground pipes. They bring tap water from our water treatment plants to your area. As pipes age and our population grows, we need to replace older watermains with larger pipes to keep providing high quality water services
Construction schedule
Construction is planned to begin January 2022 and be completed by Summer 2023.

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.
Interrupting your water supply
We anticipate that this construction project will require temporarily shutting off your water.
For residents:
- 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.
For businesses:
- If a continuous water supply is required for your business and you have not already completed a water needs survey, please contact us to let us know when and how your business uses water.
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. Information on this project can also be found at peelregion.ca/pw/construction/miss/21-1310A.htm
