Dear Customer:
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 Thursday, November 7th, 9:00am 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)

Mississauga begins budget process with launch of proposed 2025-2028 Business Plan & 2025 Budget
By diving into the budget document, you’ll be able to discover how decisions are made on everything from infrastructure improvements to community programs and transit. The budget helps understand how the City improves quality of life, the services we rely on, and even the future of our neighbourhoods.
Mississauga plans and budgets for activities and programs through three planning phases: the current budget year, in this case 2025; the four-year plan, 2025–2028; and the 10-year capital program, 2025–2034. This multi-year approach allows the City to respond to political, economic, social and environmental circumstances.
Find the 2025-2028 Business Plan & 2025 Budget document here.
About the City’s 2025-2028 Business Plan & 2025 Budget
Mississauga delivers over 200 services to taxpayers including public transit, fire & emergency services, libraries, recreation programs, snow clearing, parks and many more. The corporate priorities which guide the development of the budget are:
- Deliver the right services
- Maintain City Infrastructure
- Advance on the City’s strategic vision
- Implement cost containment strategies
How to use the budget document
By taking the time to understand the City’s budget, you can gain insights into key priorities that impact you the most. This can help you identify areas of the budget that you might want to provide feedback on or advocate for in our upcoming Budget Committee meetings. The budget plays a significant role in shaping our city, so it’s important to take the time to read and understand it. For the full budget schedule, learn more here.
Detailed information within the budget document
Volume I of the budget document introduces the business planning and budgeting process and priorities. It relates the 2025-2028 Business Plan & 2025 Budget to the City’s Strategic Plan. It provides the big picture including total planned revenue and expenses, the property tax increase required, the capital budget and how it is financed, benchmarking against other municipalities, and information about Mississauga.
Volume II presents each service area’s business plan and budget and provides a comprehensive overview of the department’s activities and objectives. The business plans share visuals and infographics to convey the proposed 2025 Budget, forecasts for 2025-2028 and the 10-year capital forecast.
Volume III offers further depth of detail for the information presented in Volumes I and II, as well as information about the City’s reserves and reserve funds.

Today, October 28, 2024, Peel Regional Police announced the results of Project Sledgehammer, an investigation targeting a group suspected of drug trafficking in Peel Region and across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
Between July and September 2024, officers from the Specialized Enforcement Bureau conducted the investigation which resulted in multiple firearms seized. In September 2024, investigators with the assistance of Waterloo Regional Police, York Regional Police and RCMP conducted five residential search warrants in the GTA, resulting in the following:
- 11 firearms
- 32 prohibited magazines
- Over 900 rounds of ammunition
- 53 Glock selector switches
- Over $20K in drugs
- 5 individuals arrested, aged 20-61
- Nearly 160 charges laid ranging from possession of a loaded firearm, possession for the purpose of trafficking, fail to comply with release order, and more.
Peel Regional Police remains committed to seizing every illegal firearm in our community and arresting those responsible for terrorizing residents. The widespread availability of illegal firearms represents an immediate and serious threat to the safety of our community. We remain resolute in our mission to disrupt and dismantle these criminal networks, deploying significant resources to combat this issue. In 2024, we have achieved unprecedented success, with record-breaking investigations, arrests, and charges related to violent crimes.
To view additional information on the investigation, including the individuals that have been arrested and charged, please find the news release here: https://x.com/PeelPolice/status/1850968548471873541
As the weather gets colder and people move indoors, the risk of catching viruses like the flu, COVID-19 or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) increases. No single measure on its own is 100% effective at preventing the spread of respiratory infections but practicing them all together provides the best protection. In the community, this includes:
· Stay home when sick, and if unable to stay home, wear a mask and avoid vulnerable populations.
· Wash your hands often with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
· Cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or elbow, not your hand.
· Consider wearing a tight-fitting, well-constructed mask in indoor public settings, especially if you or anyone you are with is at higher risk of severe infection.
· Stay up to date with vaccinations. Vaccines help lower the risk of infection, work to reduce severe outcomes if infected, and aid your body’s natural defenses to develop protection against disease.
Peel Public Health’s website for respiratory illness season will be updated throughout the fall and winter.
Protecting the Most Vulnerable
Certain groups are at higher risk of severe illness from respiratory infections. These include:
· Babies under six months (who are too young for vaccines)
· Children under five years old
· Adults aged 65 and older
· Pregnant individuals
· People with underlying health conditions such as asthma, heart disease, or diabetes
· People experiencing homelessness / precarious housing
· People who are Indigenous (First Nations, Metis, Inuit)
· People experiencing barriers to accessing health care, including but not limited to those belonging to racialized communities
Vaccine Information and Eligibility
All respiratory season vaccines are free for Ontarians regardless of citizenship or immigration status. You do not need an Ontario health card to get vaccinated. Individuals without a health card can receive the flu and COVID-19 vaccine from a community health centre or local pharmacy.
Flu and COVID-19 Vaccines
Flu and COVID-19 vaccines are available for all Peel residents six months and older. Make an appointment to get the vaccines at:
· Family doctors and walk-in clinics
· Peel Public Health clinics – Children over six months to four years old can get their COVID-19 and flu vaccines at Peel Public Health clinics. Residents can receive the flu vaccine at the same time, or any time before or after a COVID-19 vaccine. Peel Public Health clinics will offer the standard dose flu vaccine, not the high-dose or adjuvanted formulations. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist about the high-dose or adjuvanted influenza vaccine. You can book appointments online or call Peel Public Health at 905-799-7700, toll-free 1-888-919-7800.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia among infants and young children, and a major cause of hospital admissions in young children and older adults. This year, Ontario is expanding its RSV prevention programs. Individuals 60 years and older, and select pregnant individuals, may be eligible for a publicly funded RSV vaccine. Infants and high-risk young children are eligible to receive an RSV prophylaxis.
For more information on whether you are eligible for this vaccine and prophylaxis, and how to get it, please contact your primary care provider or visit Peel Region’s website.
Visit Health811 online or call 811 (TTY 1-866-797-0007) for health advice and information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
“Respiratory illness season is an important time to protect ourselves and our loved ones. By practicing a combination of preventive steps, including recommended vaccinations, we can all reduce the risk of illness for everyone. Peel Public Health works collaboratively with partners across the health care system to ensure convenient and equitable access to those seeking vaccines. We encourage residents to take advantage of many options available to protect themselves and our community.”
Dr. Gayane Hovhannisyan, Acting Medical Officer of Health, Peel Public Health
