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 on Friday, July 26th, 2:00am to 7:00am. 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)

If you have any questions, please contact us.

By Resources

Starting July 16, a PRESTO card can be added to Apple Wallet, and transit users can tap to ride using their iPhone or Apple Watch. This new feature brings even more ways to pay transit fares across the GTHA.

This is also the first time in Canada that a transit card is available in Apple Wallet, changing the game for customers, whether they’re regular riders or just visiting.

A digital version of a PRESTO card can be added to Apple Wallet for no additional charge and can be used to pay fares on GO Transit, UP Express, Brampton Transit, Burlington Transit, Durham Region Transit, Hamilton Street Railway, MiWay (in Mississauga), Oakville Transit, TTC and York Region Transit.

PRESTO in Apple Wallet supports youth, post-secondary student, adult, and senior fare types.

Customers – whether they’re residents or visitors – can instantly purchase and add funds to a PRESTO card in Apple Wallet from the PRESTO app or directly in Apple Wallet.

Swim and splash with confidence: Learn water safety tips during National Drowning Prevention Week

By Events

National Drowning Prevention week is from July 21 to 27th, come join us on Wednesday, July 24th at the City’s Water Safety Awareness Day event.

July 19, 2024

Making a splash at pools, lakes, rivers or beaches should be positive and fun experience but sometimes, water can become dangerous. Every year, more than 400 Canadians die in water incidents that could be prevented, according to the Lifesaving Society. National Drowning Prevention Week is from July 21 to 27. During the week, the City of Mississauga will educate residents about important safety tips for being near water, outside of regular programs. On July 24, Water Safety Awareness Day, the City’s Aquatics team will share safety tips with people at pools and Mississauga Celebration Square.

Event details

What

The City’s Aquatics team is hosting an event to promote water safety. The event aims to provide residents with essential water safety tips for enjoying water-related activities during the summer and beyond. The event will feature water safety experts, live CPR and AED demonstrations, a community water safety skills relay race, a marketplace with community partners, and a draw with various prizes.

Who

  • Aquatics staff
  • Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services
  • Lifesaving Society
  • Peel Regional Paramedic Services
  • Peel Region Police – Marine Unit

When

Wednesday, July 24, 2024, at 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Where

Mississauga Celebration Square
300 City Centre Dr.
Mississauga, ON

Cost

Free – no registration necessary!

Water safety at the City

The City has a strong commitment to water safety. In 2023, more than 4,500 grade three students from 116 schools and more than 750 students in grade seven from 11 schools, participated in the Swim to Survive/Swim to Survive Plus program, created by the Lifesaving Society, a national charitable organization that works to prevent drowning and water-related injuries.

Borrow a lifejacket

Don’t have a lifejacket? Take advantage of our new pilot program.

Clarkson and Erin Meadows libraries are now loaning lifejackets, in partnership with Aquatics and their Community Centres. Adults and children can borrow lifejackets on a first-come, first serve basis.

Sizes range from Infant to Adult XXL/XXL. Families can show their library card, government identification, and sign a waiver to borrow (up to five lifejackets) for one week only.

Once returned, Aquatics staff sanitize the lifejackets, and assess them for safety for the next borrower.

Drowning prevention tips

Both people who can swim and those who can’t, may be in danger of drowning. Before going near water this summer, consider bringing a flotation device to keep around you and consider these tips:

Supervise children

It doesn’t take long for a child to run off or walk away from you. When you are around water, keep children within arms’ reach.

Lifejacket safety

Boating can be fun and exciting, but you should always wear a lifejacket because it will keep you at the surface of the water if you accidentally fall in. Life jackets can also keep you warm, as an extra layer, the lifejackets can prevent a cold-water shock to your muscles. However, know that a poorly fitted lifejacket can be just as dangerous. Lifejackets aren’t one size fits all so always check for proper fit for both children and adults.

Learn to swim

Often, people who drown didn’t plan on entering the water. It’s a good idea to join a swim program to learn how to swim. The City offers a variety of swimming classes and aquatics programs suitable for everyone, no matter what age.

Stay sober

Alcohol consumption is a factor in many drownings. Using alcohol or cannabis can make it dangerous to be around water because they weaken your balance, decision-making, and quick responses. It’s best to stay away from alcohol and cannabis when you’re close to or planning to go into the water.

Always stay safe and think twice before heading to the water this summer. Have more questions about how to swim safely or about staying safe around water? Visit Mississauga.ca/swimming

Heavy rains release partially treated wastewater into Lake Ontario

By Announcement, Resources, Ward 1

BRAMPTON, ON (July 16, 2024) – Due to recent heavy rains and subsequent flooding, an overflow of partially treated wastewater from the G. E. Booth wastewater treatment facility has been released into Lake Ontario. The exact amount of water is unknown at this time. Partial bypasses are common during high rainfall events.

The drinking water supply remains clean and safe for consumption. Our water treatment facilities are operating effectively, ensuring the highest standards of water quality.

Heavy rains can flush pollutants into water bodies. Residents are advised to refrain from swimming or engaging in any water-related activities along the Lake Ontario beaches in Mississauga until further notice. Please check the beach water testing site for the most recent results.

Peel Region is closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates as more information becomes available. We encourage residents to stay informed through our official communication channels.
