Mississauga needs more housing options for families, older adults, students and the next generation who want to live in the city.
Currently, many homes in our neighbourhoods are located on large lots with two or fewer residents. The result is that some neighbourhoods are seeing their populations shrink despite a city-wide need for more housing.
The City’s Zoning By-law regulates the types of buildings that can be built in different parts of the city and how those buildings are used. Updating the City’s neighbourhood zoning to allow more housing choices like semi-detached and smaller detached homes is one way to add density in a gentle way.
You’re invited to join an upcoming virtual community meeting to learn more about the neighbourhood zoning review:
* Northern Mississauga (Wards 5, 9, 10, 11): Thursday, November 7 from 6 – 7:30 p.m.
* Central Mississauga (Wards 3, 4, 6, 7): Thursday, November 14 from 6 – 7:30 p.m.
* Southern Mississauga (Wards 1, 2, 8): Thursday, November 21 from 6 – 7:30 p.m.
Residents are encouraged to attend the session for their ward, but are welcome to join any meeting that fits their schedule.
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, November 7th, 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)
