Project 19-2215/19-1120 Lakeshore Trunk Sewer and Zone 1 Subtransmission Main project

By Construction, Resources, Ward 1

Streets affected: Lakeshore Road from Jack Darling Memorial Park to Elmwood Avenue, Wesley Avenue, Pine Avenue, Front Street North

Construction details

To support growth in South Peel and optimize the sanitary sewer collection system through the Lakeshore corridor, Peel Region is constructing a 2400mm diameter sanitary sewer and 750mm diameter watermain along Lakeshore Road, from Jack Darling Memorial Park to Elmwood Avenue.

Access the project map for overview of project.

  • Watermains are underground pipes that bring tap water from our water treatment plants to your neighbourhood. As our population grows, we need to build larger watermains to keep providing high quality water services
  • Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from your home or business to a wastewater treatment plant. Wastewater is created when water goes down the drain or is flushed down the toilet. As our population grows, we need to build larger sewers to keep providing high quality wastewater services.

About the project

The new 2400mm sanitary sewer will be installed underground by a tunnel boring machine. There will be construction compounds along Lakeshore Road at Jack Darling Memorial Park, at Richards Memorial Park, on Pine Avenue, on Wesley Avenue, Front Street North (within the parking lot and Marina Park area), and the city parking lot at Elmwood Avenue. These compounds are required to insert the tunnel boring machine, mine the tunnel, install the sanitary sewer pipe, and to install access maintenance holes along the route at strategic locations for future sanitary sewer connections.

The new 750mm watermain will be installed by both open cut and trenchless methods, with the section of watermain from Shawnmarr Road to Elmwood Avenue N installed in tunnel via a microtunnel boring machine. Compounds will be required where the tunnel boring machine is being inserted underground and pipe installed.

Where the watermain is being installed within an excavation on the roadway, lane closures will be required.

Mississauga Digs Into Construction Season

By Announcement, Construction, Resources

Residents and visitors can expect to see the City’s budget dollars hard at work as the City moves forward with its 2025 construction season. With an estimated budget of more than $117 million*, there are 23 new projects and eight projects continuing from 2024. This includes work on roads, sidewalks, bridges, bike lanes, trails and stormwater infrastructure. This work is essential for keeping road users moving safely and reducing the risk of flooding by managing stormwater.

Construction projects within the City’s Roads and Stormwater Capital Program focus on repairing, maintaining and expanding. This includes road resurfacing, sidewalk construction, bridge repairs, creek erosion control work and rehabilitation, and construction and maintenance of stormwater management facilities, like stormwater ponds, drainage systems and pumping stations.

Construction season highlights for 2025

Active transportation

It’s important that residents can travel actively, whether it’s by foot, bike or mobility device. The City continues to prioritize providing safe, reliable and sustainable transportation options.

Key projects include:

  • Construction will begin on a multi-year project to build a new active transportation bridge in Port Credit, with new cycling facilities, pedestrian crossings and intersection improvements.
  • Construction will begin on a multi-year project to widen Ninth Line (between Eglinton Avenue West and Derry Road West) to accommodate new cycling facilities.
  • Improvements will be completed on the Living Arts Drive active transportation infrastructure, including intersection upgrades, enhancements to pedestrian crossings and pathways, and protected bike lanes.

Stormwater management

The City continues to do construction work to help reduce flood risk, protect property from intense rainfall and preserve waterways and wildlife. This includes maintenance of stormwater infrastructure and erosion prevention and repair along creeks and waterways.

Key projects include:

  • Construction of the Doug Leavens Boulevard pumping station to reduce basement water infiltration in the Lisgar area.
  • The Malton Flood Relief Project, including installation of a new storm sewer.
  • Cooksville Creek improvements and flood protection, including culvert removal and installation of the new King Street bridge.
  • Erosion control and rehabilitation work along Etobicoke Creek, Cooksville Creek, Sawmill Creek, Mimico Creek and Sheridan Creek.

Road resurfacing

The City’s Road Resurfacing Program involves replacing asphalt on the road and repairing curbs and sidewalks when needed. With a $30 million investment in the program this year, 72 streets are scheduled to be resurfaced.

When a street is being resurfaced, work can also take place on boulevards, sidewalks and the City’s portion of driveways. It is recommended that residents delay any renovations to their lawn or driveway, including repaving, until the work is complete. Personal items located close to the sidewalk or boulevard, such as lights, sprinklers, décor and temporary fencing, should also be removed to avoid damage. Residents will receive a pre-construction notice in the mail if their street is scheduled for resurfacing this year.

Construction Notice – Sanitary Sewers Project – April 28th to May 9th, 2025 – Wharton Way, Wharton Glen Avenue and Mattawa Avenue Mississauga

By Construction, Resources

Peel Region will be working in your neighborhood to rehabilitate the existing sanitary sewer system on Wharton Way, Wharton Glen Avenue and Mattawa Avenue under the City of Mississauga. Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from your home or business to a water resource recovery facility. Wastewater is created when water is flushed down the toilet, or goes down the drain in your sink, tub, or shower.

To extend the service life of the sewer under your street, Peel Region’s contractors will clean the existing sewer pipe and place a new resin (plastic) lining within it. This work will be completed underground with specialized equipment and will not require digging trenches in your community. It is allowed to take place overnight (between 7pm to 7 am) to reduce the impact of our work.

Construction Schedule:

This work is expected to take between April 28th to May 9th, 2025. Monday to Friday. Additional nights may be required due to unexpected events, such as poor weather conditions. A 48-hour notice will deliver to your place of business to give you advance notice of the work date.

We may need to temporarily close roads or reduce traffic to a single lane. If this is needed, we will place signs giving directions. On-street parking will be reduced when we are working on your street.

Traffic and Parking:

This work will be phased to minimize disruption to traffic. At least one lane will be open in each direction during this work. On-street parking will be reduced when we are actively working on your street. Access to businesses will be maintained.

Noise:

We do not expect significant noise or vibrations above normal daytime construction levels during this time. Efforts will be made to reduce impacts to local residents.

Odors:

You may smell some odors while the synthetic resin inside the sewer cures. These odors are temporary and will dissipate within a few hours. You can prevent or minimize these odors by making sure you have water in all of your drains, including your basement floor drain. We recommend pouring a bucket of water down the floor drain and running the water in all sinks, showers, and tubs for a minute, either the evening before or day of the relining work. If you are not able to put water down your floor drain (for example, if it is currently covered by flooring).

We strongly recommend making it accessible before relining work begins to reduce the level of odors in your home or business.

Construction Safety:

Construction zones require extra caution to keep everyone safe. Be aware of your surroundings when driving, walking, or biking near the construction area. Watch for construction crews and other road users, slow down, and consider other routes. Visit peelregion.ca/workzonesafety for more information.

Project information can be found at peelregion.ca/construction/project-23-2300E1

Contractor and Working Hours

The work will be completed by Capital Sewers, supported by Andrews Engineer under contract to Peel Region. This contractor’s normal working hours are from 7 pm. to 7 a.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 work to affect your community over a longer period of time.

Wastewater Service Interruptions:

To complete this work, your wastewater service pipe will be out of service (plugged) for approximately 12 hours. (Wastewater service pipes carry wastewater from your home or business to the underground sanitary sewer system.) This temporary service interruption allows for the pipe to be repaired without digging up the street. To advise you of the exact date and time of this service interruption, Capital Sewers will provide you with a second notice at least 24 to 48 hours before the lining process begins.

It is important to minimize your water use while the sewer work is underway:

• You may continue to wash your hands but minimize your water use.
• Do not use showers, bathtubs, dishwashers, your washing machine or any other heavy water use like back wash processes.
• Keep toilet flushing to a bare minimum.

These actions will reduce the possibility of wastewater (also known as sewage) backing up into your basement or into your plumbing. If you have a sump pump, please notify us at construction@peelregion.ca or tell the contractor when they arrive at your property.

 

Thank you for your patience as we complete this necessary work. This work will allow us to continue providing you with high quality wastewater services.
