SCHEDULED WATER SUPPLY INTERRUPTION NOTICE – 1088 & 1092 Casson Ave – Friday, August 30th, 9:00am to 5:00pm

By Resources, Ward 1

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 Friday, August 30th, 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 advocates for top priorities at 2024 AMO conference

By Ward 1

A delegation of Councillors and staff from the City of Mississauga, led by Mayor Carolyn Parrish, attended the Association of Municipalities of Ontario’s 2024 conference in Ottawa.

August 22, 2024

From August 18-21, 2024, a delegation of Councillors and staff from the City of Mississauga, led by Mayor Carolyn Parrish, attended the Association of Municipalities of Ontario’s (AMO) 2024 conference in Ottawa, where they met with government officials including cabinet ministers, opposition party leaders, MPPs and industry stakeholders to discuss and advocate for Mississauga’s priorities.

In attendance from the City were Councillor Alvin Tedjo, Ward 2; Councillor Chris Fonseca, Ward 3; Councillor Joe Horneck, Ward 6; Councillor Dipika Damerla, Ward 7; Deputy Mayor and Councillor, Matt Mahoney, Ward 8; Councillor Martin Reid, Ward 9; Councillor Sue McFadden, Ward 10; Councillor Brad Butt, Ward 11; Geoff Wright, Mississauga’s City Manager and Chief Administrative Officer; and Raj Sheth, Commissioner of Corporate Services.

During the conference, Mississauga’s delegation took the opportunity to discuss the City’s top priorities including housing affordability and the tools needed to get housing built quickly; ensuring Mississauga and Peel Region receive their fair share of provincial funding; investing in infrastructure and transit, including a new deal for Mississauga similar to those recently signed between the province and the cities of Toronto and Ottawa; job growth and skills development to meet the demand for new housing; and supports for key industries including small businesses.

Individual meetings took place with the cabinet ministers and representatives from the following portfolios:

  • Municipal Affairs and Housing
  • Infrastructure
  • Transportation
  • Finance
  • Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, and Small Business
  • Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development

The Mississauga delegation also met with the leaders and caucus members from the Ontario New Democratic Party (NDP), Ontario Liberal Party and the Ontario Green Party.

The Mississauga delegation stressed with all provincial ministers, as well as with opposition party leaders, the need for fairness for the 1.5 million people that live in Peel Region. According to the Metamorphosis Network, a group of close to 100 social services agencies in Peel Region, residents in Peel receive $578 less per capita from the province than people living in other regions, and $145 less per capita for vital social services. In total, Peel Region is short more than $868 million for important programs and services that residents rely upon. This funding gap must be closed using property tax dollars. Mississauga joined Peel Region and the Metamorphosis Network to make the case to the provincial government for fairness for Peel Region and Mississauga taxpayers.

Learn more about Mississauga’s priorities with the provincial government by reading the City’s 2024 provincial pre-budget submission.

Update from the Region of Peel – Dixie Road north of Lakeshore Road E – CN underpass civil works

By Resources, Ward 1

 

What are the project timelines start and completion dates?

We expect the tender document to be issued within the next few days, with work anticipated to begin in fall 2024 and be completed by fall 2025.

Where is your staging area for the project?

Stage 2 encompasses all work on the west side of Dixie Road, including the sidewalk and underground drainage. It also involves the rehabilitation of existing storm sewers through pipe lining, adjustments to maintenance holes and catch basins, as well as the construction of retaining walls on the east side of the road, south of the bridge.

Stage 3 encompasses final asphalt pavement on both sides of Dixie Road with permanent line markings.

Where is your staging area (materials) for the project?

North and South traffic lanes will be shifted to east and barriers installed protecting the work zone. All project materials etc. for the project will stored within the working zone.

Will travel lanes under the underpass be effected?

Two lanes of traffic in either direction will be maintained for most works, with short duration single lane reductions only occurring during off-peak traffic hours for select activities.

 

Ministry of Transportation Update – Ogden Pedestrian Bridge

By Resources, Ward 1

As this is an MTO project,  I have made several enquires to the MTO Representatives over these past months on your behalf to obtain the status on the Ogden Bridge.

It has been frustrating that the work is not complete and to delay it further, there was an unfortunate vehicle incident in June 2024 which may have compromised the integrity of the bridge being constructed.

The Provincial Ministry of Transportation (MTO) engineering inspections of the bridge are scheduled to start this week and conclude by the end of August. The information gathered during these inspections will then be reviewed by MTO and the CA and a repair plan developed and approved by the MTO. If minimal repairs are required the Pedestrian Bridge could be opened by the end of 2024 or Spring of 2025. If more robust repairs are required the opening would be pushed further into 2025.  In the meantime, work continues on the access ramps to the bridge.

Students will continue to be bussed starting in September (continuing what has already been done since the existing bridge was removed in March of 2023) and that bussing will continue until the Pedestrian Bridge is opened. The school boards will be advised of this bussing continuation shortly.

If you have questions, please reach out to my office, and we will put you in contact with MPP Rudy Cuzzetto.

I will be in touch with you with any updates.  Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Approximately 5 homes and 200 commercial units will be affected, at:

  • 1672 to 2229 Dundas Street East
  • 3045 to 3093 Southcreek Road
  • 3040 to 3151 Universal Drive

Please find further details below.

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 Friday August 23rd, 2024, between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. 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)
