The Peel Region Public Works department regularly maintains and repairs the water system to make sure you have a consistent supply of quality drinking water. Sometimes we must turn off your water supply while we do this work.
Your water will be turned off Tuesday, October 7th, 2025. From 11:00am to 5:00pm. If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.
Property owner/manager responsibilities during a water interruption
As a property owner/manager, it is your responsibility to:
- Ensure maintenance, mechanical or plumbing staff are on site during the water interruption, as it may affect internal systems that rely on water such as boilers, fire suppression, and alarms.
- Notify the fire alarm company if the interruption could affect an alarm system.
- Have a fire watch completed during the water interruption, as the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function when the water supply is shut off.
After the water interruption
When we turn the water back on, air in the pipes may make the water cloudy and your plumbing may vibrate or make noise. We recommend removing the air by slowly turning on your taps from the lowest to the highest faucet in the building (that is, starting in the basement/first floor, and finishing on the top floor). You will likely need to run the water for 10 to 30 seconds. Run the water until it is clear, and any vibration or noise has stopped.
Important note
After the water is turned back on, we recommend checking the water meter (usually located in the basement). If it is leaking, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:
- 905-791-7800 extension 3226 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Monday to Friday)
- 905-791-7800 extension 4409 (after hours or statutory holidays)

Fees and charges help to recover costs for services or activities that the City provides, while offsetting costs for taxpayers.
October 2, 2025
Fees and charges are paid by anyone using fee-based programs and services offered by the City, regardless of their status as a taxpayer. User charges are generally charged when services offered by the City benefit specific individuals instead of the community as a whole. User charges include things like transit fares, attendance at recreation programs, dog licences and building permits.
Most fees have been updated to account for the rate of inflation which has been estimated at three per cent. With all the updated fees, the City aims to increase revenues by approximately $5.3 million, which will help reduce the overall impact on taxpayers. The fees were reviewed and the recommended update aims to balance affordability, particularly for core services and equity deserving populations, while limiting reliance on taxpayers.
Fees and charges for 2026 at a glance
MiWay (public transit)
The revised fees are in response to the increasing cost of operating transit, and to advance the strategic goal of Developing a Transit Oriented City.
Revised fares include:
- PRESTO adult single fare, from $3.40 to $3.50
- PRESTO youth single fare, from $2.65 to $2.90
- Adult monthly pass, from $141 to $145
- Affordable Transit Program discounted adult PRESTO monthly pass, from $70.50 to $72.50
- Cash fare for adult and youth, from $4.25 to $4.50
- Cash fare for senior, from $1.00 to $4.50
Since July 2025, seniors ages 65 and older ride MiWay for free with a PRESTO card set to the senior fare type.
The latest increase to the cash fare aims to encourage riders to transition from cash to PRESTO to benefit from discounted fares on PRESTO, get free transfer when connecting with the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) and GO transit. This also helps harmonize all cash fares paid on MiWay at the same price for all, regardless of age (adults, youth, or seniors).
Recreation and Culture
The recommended rates and fees respond to market demand and attempt to drive increased participation while generating incremental revenue. Highlights of new rates and fees include:
- NEW: Pool rental fee per lane; and private, semi-private fitness program fees for general and therapeutic personal training
- NEW: Filming location fees at outdoor artificial turf fields and Living Arts Centre parking area
Enforcement
The restructuring and reclassification of Enforcement fees and charges aim to enhance transparency, improve organizational clarity and reflect current practices.
- NEW: Animal Services fees for end-of-life care, and cremation of dogs, cats and small animals
- NEW: Fees for property re-inspections, and formal reassessment of a Rental Standards property evaluation
Library
The library focuses on cost recovery, and identifying changes required with updates to processes and the introduction of new technology and services.
- NEW: New fees related to the use of Makerspace technology
Parks, Forestry and Environment
The City maintains 3,178 hectares of City-owned parkland and open spaces and 370 sports fields to support active living and wellbeing.
- NEW: Fees for the new hybrid artificial cricket field and natural grass outfield
Transportation and Works
New fees support flexibility for construction and development projects.
- NEW: A Complex Construction Monthly fee for technical services
- NEW: Ditching fee as part of the Access Modification Permit
What are fees and charges?
The City of Mississauga imposes fees and charges to reduce the impact on the property tax base and regulate various activities that benefit public interest.
Historically these payments have been used to offset tax increases. In 2025, fees and charges represented nearly 18 per cent of the City’s revenue. While taxes fund general public services, fees and charges are directly tied to the use of particular services. The Budget Committee’s recommendations aim to ensure that those who benefit from use, contribute to covering the costs.
The Fees and Charges By-law, approved by Council, identifies the rates and fees proposed for specific City services, programs and activities. The 2026 Fees and Charges schedule is set to be implemented as of January 1, 2026 (with some exceptions to align with business areas). Final approval for all fees and charges will be made by Council.
Budget Committee meetings
The next Budget Committee meeting is scheduled for Monday, January 12, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. and is open for the public to attend. The full schedule of meetings is available online at Council and Committees Calendar Listings.

- Keep batteries away from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and flammable materials.
- Do not store or charge batteries below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C (105°F).

- Never modify or tamper with a battery yourself.
The City of Mississauga broke ground today on what will be a unique pedestrian cycling bridge (active transportation).
The bridge will offer a direct and easy way to walk or cycle through Memorial Park, connect communities and access to the Port Credit GO station.
“I was honoured to officially break ground for the Port Credit Active Transportation Bridge, a project that will transform how we move through our community and make it even easier to experience all that Port Credit has to offer” says Councillor Stephen Dasko for Ward 1. The Port Credit BIA, the President and Officers from the Port Credit Royal Canadian Legion, Town of Port Credit Association (TOPCA), Fram Building Group, Diamond Corp, and Brennan Paving were present and participated in the ceremony.
“As Ward Councillor, I am excited to see this project come to life. The pedestrian cycling bridge has been a long time coming, and one that I have worked tirelessly to bring to our community” says Dasko.
The completed bridge will strengthen the pedestrian and cycling networks, improve access to the waterfront, trails and parks, and support active living by making walking and cycling more convenient. By prioritizing walking and cycling infrastructure, this will create safer streets, reduce congestion, improve air quality and promote a more connected, vibrant, and sustainable community.
This is a 66-metre-long bridge which will stretch over the Credit River, south of the existing train bridge. Over the next year, the new bridge will be assembled near the Port Credit Royal Canadian Legion, and in Port Credit Memorial Park. Once assembled, it will be launched over the Credit River.
The bridge will also support Port Credit’s thriving tourism industry. Completion time is anticipated by next fall.

We’re making a difference
The City has hosted many events so far this year to help reduce waste. As part of Earth Day, the City participated in the spring recycling collection drive where more than 3,700 kilograms of clothing and textiles were donated, and more than 4,200 kilograms of e-waste were recycled. The City also offered three repair hubs, two in April and one in August, with an average repair rate of 74 per cent.
Over the summer, the City diverted more than 193 kilograms of food waste from landfill and avoided 2,622 single-use items of waste. This was done at the City’s largest outdoor movie event which took place at Celebration Square every Thursday evening throughout the summer. To minimize single-use items, food truck vendors offered reuseable dishware. Staff and volunteers also had multiple waste-storing stations to properly sort organics and recyclables.

About Adamson Estate
Located along the shoreline of Lake Ontario in the Lakeview neighbourhood, Adamson Estate sits on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, part of Treaty 14 lands. It was originally part of a Crown grant given to Joseph Cawthra in the early 1800s. In 1876, Joseph’s grandson, John Cawthra II, built a summer home on the land which came to be known as Grove Farm. In 1899, John’s daughter, Mabel Cawthra, received the estate as a wedding gift when she married Agar Adamson. The couple replaced Grove Farm with the current Adamson House, constructed in 1919. Together, they transformed the estate into a landmark that reflected their heritage and shared vision.
2025 marks the first time the Adamson Estate will be continuously open to the public in 40 years. Starting October 4, the Museums of Mississauga will be presenting meaningful, high-quality exhibitions about our heritage at the Adamson Estate, beginning with A History Exposed: The Enslavement of Black People in Canada.
