Peel Region has been working in your neighborhood to replace the existing watermains along Boismere Court, Corsair Road, Kalligan Court, Maplewood Road, Proverbs Drive, King Forrest Drive, Shawanaga Trail, Abbotswood Court. Watermains are underground pipes that bring tap water from our water treatment facility to your neighborhood. As pipes age and our population grows, we need to replace older watermains to keep providing you with high quality water.
At this time, the watermains have now been installed on Proverbs Drive, Kalligan Court and most of King Forrest Drive. The next phase is to complete the watermain installation and replacement of existing water service pipes on King Forrest Drive from the property line to the new watermain.
The contractor had a winter shutdown during the holiday season, and they will be back on the site to resume construction in February 2025.
Schedule for remaining construction work:
Construction was paused due to winter holidays and is resuming in February 2025 and will be completed by the end of August 2025. Construction work will continue on King Forrest Drive, and once completed, the contractor will move to Maplewood Road approximately the week of March 10, 2025, then move to the next street, which will be announced at a later date.
Once the underground work is completed on all streets, we will begin repairing any driveways, boulevards, sod (grass), roads, curbs, and sidewalks impacted by our construction work.
We expect construction on all streets including the associated restoration work, to be completed by the end of August 2025. These timelines are estimates, as weather and other unexpected events may impact our timelines. This work will be under warranty for two years from the completion date.Peel Region will be working in your area to replace the watermains along Kalligan Court, Maplewood Road, Proverbs Drive, as shown on the attached maps.

What to expect during construction
Learn what to expect during watermain construction by visiting peelregion.ca/construction/watermain and watching our short video. The video goes behind the scenes to show what happens before, during and after construction. This website also answers common questions about:
• Why your water may be temporarily shut off,
• How traffic, parking, and waste collection may be affected,
• How driveways, roads and sod (grass) are repaired after construction is finished.
Contractor and working hours
The work will be completed by Sam Rabito Construction Ltd., under contract to Peel Region. This contractor’s normal working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.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 your neighbourhood/area to be under construction for a longer period of time.
The City of Mississauga, under the Noise Bylaw, is allowing work to take place on specific date and time or over the weekend or overnight to reduce the impact of our work on traffic congestion.
This overnight or weekend work will occur only after issuing an exemption by the City of Mississauga, and it will be communicated to residents in the affected areas. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience caused by this work.
Traffic and parking
We may need to temporarily close roads or reduce traffic to a single lane during construction. If we must reroute traffic, we will place signs giving directions. On-street parking will be reduced during construction when we are actively working on your street.
Interrupting your water supply
We anticipate that this construction project will require temporarily shutting off your water.
For residents:
• It is our goal to let you know 48 hours (2 days) in advance if we plan to shut off your water for an extended period (several hours). Occasionally we may have to reduce this notice to 24 hours.
• If we need to shut off your water for a short duration (less than one hour), we will knock on your door to notify you.
• If we must shut off your water due to an emergency, we will knock on your door to alert you, and do everything we can to fix the problem as quickly as possible.
For businesses:
• If a continuous water supply is required for your business and you have not already completed a water needs survey, please contact us to let us know when and how your business uses water.
• If we must shut off your water due to an emergency, we will knock on your door to alert you, and do everything we can to fix the problem as quickly as possible.
Areas impacted by construction
Installing watermains usually requires digging a trench within the municipal right-of-way, which includes the street and the land owned by the municipality between the water service box and the street. (The water service box is a small, round, metal valve located outside on the property line between your homes and the road.)
Depending on the location of the watermain, this trench might cause temporary damage to roads, curbs, sidewalks, boulevards, lawns, and the bottom of driveways within the municipal right-of-way.
To maintain your water supply, Peel Region will also replace:
• Your water service box,
• The section of your water service pipe leading from the watermain to your water service box. The water service pipe carries water from the watermain to your home.
This requires digging up your water service box located in the lawn or driveway and disturbing an area at least two square meters.
We therefore recommend that you delay any driveway paving or major landscaping projects until this construction work is completed.
Any damage caused by Peel Region’s construction will be repaired.
In-ground sprinkler systems
As the front lawn may be affected by this construction work, if you have an in-ground sprinkler system we strongly recommend moving any sprinkler lines that are located in the municipal right-of-way or next to the sidewalk. If you can’t relocate these sprinkler lines, please send us a map created by your irrigation contractor or flag each sprinkler head that is located within one meter of the sidewalk, curb, or driveway. This will allow us to minimize the impact to your sprinkler system.
Tree protection and trimming
Trees located in the municipal right-of-way will be protected during construction using temporary fencing. If tree branches within the municipal right-of-way interfere with construction, the trees will be pruned beforehand. If tree branches on private property interfere with construction, they will be pruned back to the nearest suitable trunk or branch. The contractor will contact you before any pruning of private trees occurs. If you do not allow personnel onto your property to trim the tree, the branches will be cut vertically at the property line.
Repairing areas impacted by construction
We will start repairing the road, curb, sidewalk, driveways, and lawns once the new watermain is buried and new water service pipes have been connected to all properties on your street.
Repairs may be delayed due to contractor availability or certain seasonal weather conditions.
For example:
• Paving cannot take place when the ground is saturated with water, or the temperature is below 3°C.
• Asphalt is not available in large volumes during the winter. Asphalt usually becomes available around mid- May.
• Most sod farms are located north of Peel. They usually have sod available beginning in late May. We will replace the sod on your property once it is available. We replace sod only until the middle of November, weather permitting, to let the sod grow roots. If we do not repair your lawn by the middle of November, we’ll replace the sod the following spring.
Repairing grassy areas
The contractor will replace any damaged sod (grass) on the boulevard or your front lawn and will take care of the new sod for 30 days. You can help the sod stay healthy by watering it. A longer ‘deep root watering’ works better to establish new sod than watering more frequently for a shorter time. Watering in the early morning allows more water to soak in instead of evaporating.
Repairing driveways
• Asphalt driveways: If we need to cut a section of your driveway, the driveway will be repaired by paving a stripe over the disturbed area, resulting in minimal seams in the final driveway. Peel Region cannot replace your entire driveway. If you would like to have the rest of your driveway paved, please contact
the contractor, Sam Rabito Construction Ltd, at (905) 642-5356. The contractor will then share contact information for the company hired to do the paving repairs. Please remember this is your option. If you decide to have your entire driveway repaved, this extra paving work is your responsibility and outside the jurisdiction of Peel Region.
• Interlock or concrete driveways: If we damaged a portion of your driveway, our contractor will reinstate the damaged portion of the driveway.
Temporary restoration
On the following Streets: Maplewood Road, The City of Mississauga is planning to complete roadwork on your street within the next few years. As this roadwork may also impact driveways, curbs, sidewalks, and lawns next to the sidewalk, we will:
• Pave only the areas of the street directly disturbed,
• Fix damaged sidewalks and curbs using asphalt,
• Patch your driveway to cover any places we disturbed, as the future roadwork may affect the bottom of your driveway. After the city/town paves your street, the driveway will be repaired by paving a stripe over the disturbed area, resulting in minimal seams in the final driveway.
Peel Region’s repairs are temporary, as the City of Mississauga will complete restoration as part of their roadwork.
The City of Mississauga will send you a separate notice about this additional construction.
Driveway access
It may be necessary to block your driveway for a short time when crews are digging the trench for the watermain,
replacing your water service box and pipe, or completing other construction activities. Please contact us if you
have special needs related to access.
Waste collection
If you receive waste collection from Peel Region, your garbage, recycling, and organics will continue to be picked up on your regularly scheduled day. It is the contractor’s responsibility to move your garbage, recycling, and organics bins from the end of your driveway to a location where waste collection vehicles can pick them up. Empty containers will be returned to their corresponding addresses. Please make sure your house number is clearly marked on each bin. This helps us return empty bins to the correct address.
Vibrations
You could feel slight vibrations from the construction work.
Optional protection plans for your exterior water pipes, wastewater pipes, and in-home plumbing
Many homeowners are not aware that they are responsible for maintaining the water and wastewater pipes both inside their home and outdoors up to the property line. If one of these pipes breaks, it can cause unexpected and costly repairs. Peel Region has partnered with Service Line Warranties of Canada (SLWC) to offer homeowners optional, affordable protection from unexpected home repairs. Learn more about the protection plans at plansforpeel.ca
Safety during construction
Construction zones require extra caution to keep everyone safe – pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and construction workers. When driving, walking, or biking through the construction area, please be aware of your surroundings, watch for construction crews and other road users, slow down, account for delays, and consider other routes if possible. To learn more about how to stay safe in construction zones, visit peelregion.ca/workzonesafety
Keeping you informed
We will let you know if there are any major changes to the plans.

Please be advised Lakeview Community Partners Ltd. will be commencing work on Lakeshore Road at Lakefront Promenade and Hydro Road for the purpose of installing new underground infrastructures to service the proposed community east of Lakefront Promenade. This work will be completed in two stages.
The first stage at Lakeshore Road and Lakefront Promenade will be affected between November 4th to November 15th, 2024. The second stage at Lakeshore Road and Hydro Road will be affected between November 16th to November 23rd, 2024.
The Region of Peel and the City of Mississauga are working diligently with the project management team to ensure that this overdue and necessary work is completed within the time frame and minimizes inconvenience.
Please be advised that Maple Hill Tree Service working on behalf of the City of Mississauga will be performing the removal and herbicide treatment of Tree of Heaven in Orchard Heights Park, and in Helen Molasy Park under a joint invasive species management project with our Natural Areas Management Team to support our woodland management efforts. 38 trees in Orchard Heights Park have been identified and marked for removal and treatment, and 13 trees have been identified and marked for removal and treatment in Helen Molasy Park , to enhance the integrity of the woodland. Tree of Heaven has become a widespread invasive species across North America known to quickly and aggressively establish itself while inhibiting the growth of native plants. Its control is critical to maintain the balance of the native ecosystems and biodiversity. Debris generated from operations will be removed from site. Timing of work is weather dependent but is expected to initiate within the next 2 weeks.
All Tree of Heaven which will be removed will be treated by a herbicide application to the remaining stumps. The reason for this herbicide application will be to prevent aggressive resprouting known to occur with these trees. The herbicide that will be used is Garlon XRT (active ingredient: Triclopyr). The herbicide will be directly applied to the stump to minimize the potential for impacts to the surrounding areas. As per provincial regulations, a notice of upcoming herbicide application will be posted on-site at least 24 hours in advance of the work and will remain at least 48 hours afterwards.
Following treatment, the area will be monitored to determine if any further treatment will be needed in 2025.
Councillor Dasko is happy to share another update, as promised. Resulting from the last report and Councillor Dasko’s advocacy for his residents councils direction was to staff to come back to Council. Yesterday, on September 25, 2024 with Corporate Report: 10.2. entitled “Council Update – July and August 2024 Extreme Rainfall Events” (attached). This report, which was passed by Councillor Dasko and his colleagues unanimously, is an action-oriented approach to accelerating flood mitigation initiatives, inspection enhancements and increased maintenance and operation activities. Councillor Dasko has also attached his motion for your perusal which was again unanimously passed by all of council.
The following items were passed and are to be actioned:
- A Residential Compassionate Flood Relief Grant Program to provide a one-time grant of $1,000 to Mississauga residential property owners who incurred damages as a result of basement flooding following the weather events on July 16, 2024, or August 17 and 18, 2024, as a result of Councillor Dasko’s motion on September 11, 2024.
- A basement flooding prevention rebate program to provide up to $6,800 to make basement flood prevention improvements more affordable.
- With the number of staff meetings with Councillor Dasko he was pleased to see that staff were convinced to step up the timeline of new and accelerated stormwater projects, as outlined in the Project-based action plan includes accelerating the Design and Construction of the Dixie-Dundas Flood Mitigation Project by 6 years, including infrastructure improvement projects in 2025, 2026, 2027, with a completion year of 2028.
- Enhancements to routine maintenance of stormwater infrastructure
- City staff will work further with local authorities like the TRCA, Alectra, and the Emergency Management Team to identify opportunities to enhance public alerting to residents during localized flooding.
- Staff have been directed to prepare and submit applications to the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program – Housing-Enabling Water Systems Fund (second intake- November 1, 2024) and Housing-Enabling Core Services Stream programs to support the Dixie-Dundas Flood Mitigation Project.
Furthermore, at the Region of Peel, Regional Council passed a motion on September 12, 2024 to have an increase in the Sanitary Backwater Valve Rebate Program. The program is available to property owners in priority areas in Peel who had experienced sanitary flooding because of a storm event in the past 10 years. Residents living in neighborhoods outside the priority areas can also apply for a subsidy if they have reported flooding to Peel Region in the past or have an insurance claim. Subsidies are 60% of the invoiced cost, up to a maximum $1,500. Residents are asked to call Peel Region at 905-791-7800 to confirm eligibility for the backwater valve subsidy before proceeding with an installation. For more information please visit peelregion.ca.
Please note that there will be an upcoming City-wide Public Information Session for 2024 Flood Events. Councillor Dasko will share more details when they are announced.
Please be advised that stop #0875 on WB Dundas Street at Wharton Way will be out of service effective 9:00am Friday September 27 until further notice for construction works.
Patrons will be directed to the previous stop #0874 at Universal Drive which is approximately 400 metres east.
Stop #0875 is serviced by Route 1/1C/101/101A West with continued accessible bus service at Stop #0874.
Please use Stop #0874 as an express stop during this construction phase.
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, September 26th, 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)
