Water Interruption Notice -T-19001Ma, Lakeview Village, Mississauga, Thursday October 24

By Announcement, Resources, Ward 1

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, October 24, from 8:00pm to Friday, October 25, at 4:00am. 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)

Vacuum Leaf Collection Begins Oct. 28

By Announcement, Resources

Please be advised that the Vacuum Leaf Collection Program (VLCP) is scheduled to start later this month. Streets that qualify for the program will be visited according to the schedule.

This program is weather dependent and rain or early snowfall will impact the collection schedule.

Residents eligible for the VLCP will receive a postcard in the mail with their collection dates (see attached). These cards are delivered on a staggered schedule so that they arrive approximately two weeks before the zone’s first pickup.

Residents are instructed to rake leaves to the boulevard a day or two before their leaf collection dates. Leaves should not be raked onto the road. This can cause catch basins to become blocked and affect drainage when it rains.

As you are aware, it is difficult to predict when the leaves will fall. Our goal is to collect as many leaves as possible with each scheduled pickup. Residents who miss their leaf pickup, or who still have leaves to collect after the program has ended in their zone, should rake their leaves into open reusable containers or paper yard waste bags and place them curbside for pick up by the Region of Peel. The week of December 9th is the final week of yard waste collection by the Region of Peel.

Peel Region recognizes Imagine a Day Without Water

By Resources

On October 17, Peel Region will join communities around the world in recognizing Imagine a Day Without Water, a day of awareness dedicated to highlighting the value of water—our most essential resource. This day encourages us to reflect on how safe, clean, and reliable water impacts our daily lives, and consider what life might look like without it.

Peel Region treats and distributes hundreds of millions of litres of water each day. Using advanced technology, Peel’s water treatment facilities remove harmful chemicals and microorganisms, ensuring the highest quality tap water. This treated water travels through pipes to homes and businesses, undergoing rigorous monitoring along the way.

Our wastewater treatment process ensures that water collected from the community is thoroughly cleaned before being safely returned to Lake Ontario. Peel’s wastewater collection system spans over 3,400 kilometers of pipes and treats over 630 million liters of wastewater daily.

We also acknowledge the critical role of water and wastewater staff in safeguarding the health of residents and the environment. Their dedication ensures that clean, safe water is always available to the community. To learn more about Peel’s water and wastewater services, visit peelregion.ca/water.

Get Involved: Water Treatment Plant Tour 

In recognition of Imagine a Day Without Water, Peel Region invites the community to take part in an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of the Arthur P. Kennedy Water Treatment Plant, one of the world’s largest water treatment facilities. The tour provides a unique opportunity to learn how Peel treats and delivers drinking water to homes, schools, and workplaces every day.

Event Details: 

  • Date: Saturday, October 19, 2024
  • Time: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (free drop-in tours available until 3:30 p.m.)
  • Location: 920 East Avenue, Mississauga

Closed toe shoes are mandatory for the tour.

Budget Committee approves free transit for seniors, along with other fees and charges for 2025

By Announcement, Resources

Fees and charges help to recover costs for services or activities that the City provides, while keeping the tax burden low.

October 3, 2024

Yesterday, as part of the City’s annual budget process, Budget Committee approved the 2025 schedule for fees and charges for City services and programs including MiWay fares and permits for people or businesses using services. The City charges these fees to help to recover costs for services or activities that it provides.

2025 schedule for fees and charges at a glance

MiWay (Effective July 1, 2025)

MiWay ridership has surpassed pre-pandemic levels. Ridership growth is projected at 14 per cent in 2024 and an additional 7 per cent in 2025, enabling Council to keep transit fares steady while also supporting continued growth.

  • No MiWay fare increase for 2025
  • Making permanent the pilot discount program providing free fares for children 6 – 12 years of age on PRESTO
  • Permanent free PRESTO fares for seniors age 65 and over, effective July 1, 2025. Seniors must use PRESTO card to get free fare or continue to pay $1 cash fare.

Parks, Forestry and Environment

The proposed fees are designed to ensure fee recovery that directly benefits those who hold permits, thereby maintaining the high quality and accessibility of our parks for all users. Highlights of new rates and fees include:

  • NEW: Resident and non-resident Weekly Lakefront Promenade Buddy Pass for Credit Village Marina
  • NEW: Lakefront Promenade meeting room rental fee
  • NEW: Tennis/Pickleball court fee per hour for adult, youth, resident and non-resident

See the full details on fees and charges here.

What are fees and charges?

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 licenses, and building permits.

Historically these payments have been used to offset tax increases. Fees and charges represent approximately 20 per cent of the City’s budget. 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 2025 Fees and Charges schedule is set to be implemented as of January 1, 2025 (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, November 18, 2024, 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.

Stay informed
