SCHEDULED WATER SUPPLY INTERRUPTION NOTICE – 1430 Carmen Dr – Tuesday, October 1st, from 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 Tuesday, October 1st, 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)
  • 905-791-7800 extension 4409 (after hours or statutory holidays)

Benefits of trees

Trees and natural areas are important to Mississauga’s heritage and provide many benefits. Trees and other native perennial plants play a crucial role in combatting climate change by absorbing harmful carbon dioxide. They also act as natural coolants by providing shade in our streets, help to control floods by slowing down water flow and enhance the city’s beauty through colourful blooms and leaves.

Trees in Mississauga

Support the One Million Trees program

The City’s One Million Trees program aims to add one million more trees to Mississauga’s tree canopy by 2032. Since the program launched in 2013, more than 540,000 trees have been planted across Mississauga.

By participating in one of the City’s tree-planting events or planting trees and shrubs on your own property, you contribute to the one million tree goal. When planting a tree or shrub, consider using native species since these are best suited to Mississauga’s climate and have the most benefit for the city’s native wildlife.
