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 Wednesday, March 12, from 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)

City launches series of comprehensive initiatives to support local businesses during this time of global economic uncertainty and in response to American tariffs on Canadian goods.
March 5, 2025
During today’s General Committee meeting, City staff provided an update to Council regarding Mississauga’s response to the U.S. tariffs, including more information on the economic impact on Mississauga’s local economy and changes to the City’s procurement processes. Mississauga’s response comes after the U.S. imposed tariffs on Canada. In retaliation, the Government of Canada has imposed 25 per cent counter-tariffs on $155 billion worth of U.S. goods and implemented immediate tariffs on goods worth $30 billion, with the remainder to be implemented within 21 days.
As Canada continues to navigate these unprecedented economic challenges, the City is taking a strategic and measured approach to its response. The City has already begun implementing various initiatives aimed at supporting local businesses and the economy and protecting local jobs.
Given the strong interdependence within the supply chain between Canada, its provinces and the United States, the newly imposed tariffs will drive up costs for both business inputs and consumer goods. Other potential impacts include disruptions to supply chains, reduced business investment and reconsideration of investments in Mississauga.
The City’s response to U.S. tariffs
The City is taking action to support local businesses and residents. Efforts include direct outreach, advocacy and working to ensure local Mississauga businesses are connected to the supports and available resources from all levels of government.
City initiatives already underway
Partners in Trade Response Plan
This long-term plan aims to support Mississauga’s businesses, protect jobs, and stabilize our local economy. The plan includes:
Procurement By-law amendments – The City is amending its Procurement By-law to prioritize Canadian and non-U.S. suppliers, especially for medium and high-value projects, and streamline the process to support more local, diverse, and smaller businesses.
Choose Canada campaign – The City launched the Choose Canada initiative in February, encouraging residents and businesses to support the local economy by purchasing Canadian-made products and services.
Business support and outreach – The City will engage with local businesses to understand their needs and provide access to resources for navigating tariff disruptions. This includes market diversification support for businesses looking to enter into new markets beyond the U.S.
Advocacy – The City will continue to advocate to provincial and federal governments to secure support for impacted businesses and the elimination of inter-provincial trade barriers.
The City is also working with the Mississauga Board of Trade, the Toronto Region Board of Trade, Export Development Canada and other business associations and partners to assist local businesses in learning more about the impacts of tariffs, managing supply chain risks and navigating these challenging times. The City’s Economic Development Division has a long history of assisting businesses in their time of need, including most recently during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We’re facing unprecedented economic uncertainty. The newly imposed U.S. tariffs are threatening jobs on both sides of the border and sending trading markets into a free fall. As a manufacturing and trade hub, Mississauga is affected, but we are resilient. While we cannot control the tariffs, we can respond. Mississauga stands united with our federal and provincial governments against these unjust tariffs and will continue to support local businesses and residents. I encourage everyone to participate in our Choose Canada campaign by supporting Canadian-made products where you can.” – Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish
“Our City’s manufacturing sector, which supports thousands of jobs, is particularly vulnerable to tariffs and economic uncertainty. Industry forecasts project a two to three percentage point increase in the unemployment rate nationwide, translating to an estimated loss of 600,000 jobs across the country, and significant ripple effects to communities like Mississauga. That’s why we’re taking action to advocate for our manufacturers, local industries, businesses and workers and to connect our businesses with necessary resources and support. By collaborating with local businesses and partners, we aim to strengthen our economy and protect the livelihoods of Mississauga residents.” – Christina Kakaflikas, Director, Economic Development, City of Mississauga
“Last year, Mississauga invested more than $730 million in procurements, and these tariffs will substantially drive up costs for our city. To respond effectively, our amended Procurement By-law will enable us to prioritize Canadian suppliers and those from non-U.S. sources wherever possible, particularly for medium and high-value projects. This proactive approach will streamline the procurement process and help us empower more local, diverse, and small businesses to compete and thrive.”
– Raj Sheth, Commissioner, Corporate Services, City of Mississauga
Mississauga is one of five communities in Canada to receive a grade of PFPC1 by Verisk Canada’s Fire Underwriters Survey (FUS), an achievement that has economic benefits for the City’s property and business owners.
March 4, 2025
The City of Mississauga is pleased to announce that Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services (MFES) received the highest grade in Ontario by the Verisk Canada’s Fire Underwriters Survey (FUS). In addition to being recognized for making Mississauga safer, MFES’ score has a positive economic impact for property and business owners.
About the Fire Underwriters Survey assessment
Verisk Canada’s Fire Underwriters Survey™ (FUS) is a national organization that provides data on public fire protection for fire insurance statistical work and underwriting purposes of subscribing insurance companies. The FUS provides a standardized measure of the adequacy of fire protection in every community in Canada. The survey is used by over 90 per cent of property and casualty insurers.
The FUS helps the insurance industry establish appropriate fire insurance rates for residential and commercial properties by providing Fire Insurance Grades. These grades are specifically developed for the Canadian insurance community. Mississauga has achieved a Class 1 rating; 1 represents the “ideal” or highest level of public fire protection while Class 10 reflects the absence of any effective public fire protection.
MFES had previously received a class 2 grade. However, advancements in the mechanical division, training centre, fire prevention, and communication centre resulted in the classification improvements. The City of Mississauga is the only Ontario community with a Public Fire Protection Classification (PFPC) Class 1. This classification achievement is only shared by four other communities throughout Canada.
Economic benefits for Mississauga property and business owners
Businesses are more likely to invest in a municipality with high fire protection standards and property owners may benefit from probable savings in insurance premiums. A high rating from FUS also helps investors feel more confident when it comes to the safety of their warehouses, retail locations and offices in Mississauga.
Find out all the ways MFES keeps us safe by visiting mississauga.ca/fire for more information. Residents are also encouraged to prioritize fire prevention with working smoke alarms, escape plans and keeping children and pets away from heat sources.
Keeping the city safe starts at home and everyone has a role.
“Congratulations to Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services for earning the highest grade in Ontario by the Fire Underwriters Survey. With this achievement, Mississauga has established a benchmark and standard when it comes to public safety. During this economically challenging time, investors and property owners will be pleased to know that insurers consider Mississauga safe, which could lead to potential savings.”
– Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish
“Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services is dedicated keeping the city and its residents safe every single day. Achieving the highest score in Ontario, a rating of PFPC1, is not only an honour but a testament to the work that goes on behind the scenes and on the front lines. This achievement is dedicated to all staff, management and community leaders who have helped support our fire service as we continue to prioritize response times, expand public education, advance training for mandatory firefighter certification and ensure fire code compliance.”
– Fire Chief and Director of Emergency Management Deryn Rizzi

The site will close March 31, 2025, following provincial legislation under Bill 223
BRAMPTON, ON (February 28, 2025) – Peel Public Health remains committed to supporting residents impacted by substance-related harms by enhancing harm reduction services following the upcoming closure of Peel’s supervised consumption site.
“We know substance use is a complex issue and it’s important that residents know they are not alone. We are committed to working with our provincial and community partners so residents who are at risk of substance-related harms have health and social supports that meet their individual needs. The conversation doesn’t end here – it has to continue so we can build a healthier community together.” – Nando Iannicca, Peel Region Chair, Board of Health Chair and CEO.
Along with looking for ways to expand frontline service, the Peel Public Health Harm Reduction Program will continue to offer free, anonymous, and confidential mobile harm reduction services from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Monday to Saturday. Peel will also enhance its evidence-based Opioid Strategy, which focuses on prevention, harm reduction, treatment and justice. The strategy will continue to be co-designed with community partners and people who have lived experience with substance use.
Supervised consumption and drug checking services at the site will close March 31, 2025, at 10 Peel Centre Drive. Until May 1, 2025, services including basic first aid, distribution of harm reduction supplies and education, counselling and referrals will continue. The site has had over 760 visits (210 unique), preventing substance-related harms, such as overdose, HIV, hepatitis and deaths.
“Thank you to all the partners and neighbours of Peel’s supervised consumption site for your dedication to our community. We deeply appreciate your support. Your commitment to providing life-saving health services continues to make a real impact for residents in Peel.” – Nancy Polsinelli, Peel Region Health Services Commissioner.
Peel Public Health is committed to improving the health and well-being of all residents in Peel Region by providing programs, services, and education that promote health, prevent disease, and protect the community. Peel Public Health’s mandate aligns with the Peel’s vision to build healthy, safe, and vibrant communities for all.
Background
On December 4, 2024, the Government of Ontario passed Bill 223 – Safer Streets, Stronger Communities Act. As a result, the Province has advised that Peel’s supervised consumption site must close by March 31, 2025.
There will be a 60-day transition period to support service users after the closure of supervised consumption and drug checking services.
Peel’s supervised consumption site opened on March 4, 2024, as an Urgent Public Health Need Site under a federal exemption with Moyo Health & Community Services as the operator and WellFort Community Health Services as the Clinical Lead. The site is funded by the Region of Peel.
Peel’s drug-toxicity crisis continues, with 705 deaths between 2019-2023.
In Peel, people are dying alone, with nearly half (49 per cent) of deaths occurring when there was no one present who could intervene. This is higher than in Ontario (42 per cent).
