WHAT?
- The City of Mississauga has prepared a Storm Drainage Master Plan for the Port Credit Neighbourhood. This Master Plan was developed to assess how much stormwater the current drainage system can handle and to identify any potential problems with the system, caused by increased development in the area and the effects of climate change. The Master Plan has recommended storm sewer upgrades and recommended opportunities for local Low Impact Development (LID) Best Management Practices (BMPs).
WHY?
- In the recent years, the Port Credit Neighbourhood has been subject to infill and intensification which may put greater pressure on the stormwater system.
- No recent evaluations\assessments of the drainage system capacity had been completed. Accordingly, this Study was completed to determine the current and future storm drainage infrastructure requirements for the area to prepare a roadmap for future action.
HOW? - Detailed modelling of existing drainage systems was conducted to identify a comprehensive program for the City’s drainage infrastructure.
- Potential options were evaluated for managing stormwater drainage in the Port Credit Neighbourhood along with priorities for the implementation of the overall preferred solution, consisting of three (3) separate projects.
PORT CREDIT STORM DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN FOR REVIEW
- A key component of this Study was to consult with regulatory agencies, the public, interested stakeholders and Indigenous Peoples & Nations whose Traditional Territory the Study Area is located in.
- Two virtual Public Information Centres (PICs) were held throughout the Study process to present initial Study findings, alternatives, the preferred solution and to answer any questions.
The Storm Drainage Master Plan is being placed on the public record (project website) for review starting April 7, 2025, to May 6, 2025: https://www.mississauga.ca/projects-and-strategies/environmental-assessments/port-credit-storm-drainage-master-plan/ - Interested persons may provide written comments to the following project contacts by May 6, 2025:

• Section 16 of the Environmental Assessment Act allows a person to submit a request to the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks to issue an order requiring a higher level of study (i.e., requiring an individual / comprehensive EA approval before being able to proceed), or that conditions be imposed (e.g., require further studies), only on the grounds that the requested order may prevent, mitigate or remedy adverse impacts on constitutionally protected Aboriginal and treaty rights. For Master Plans, this request would be possible only for those projects identified in the Master Plan, which are subject to the Class EA process, and not the Master Plan itself. The projects recommended through Storm Drainage Master Plan (i.e., storm sewer upgrades and LIDs) are not subject to Section 16 Order Request.
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, April 9, 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)
If you have any questions, please contact us.

Become a recognized Nature Steward
Nature lovers rejoice! Mississauga is launching a new program, Mississauga Nature Stewards at Home, encouraging residents to naturalize their yards to help wildlife, reduce the impacts of climate change and create a healthy, diverse ecosystem.
Residents’ yards must:
- Have at least five native plant species that support pollination
- Have native plants cover at least 75 per cent of the naturalized area
- Be free of harmful or invasive plants
- Be pesticide and herbicide free
To join the program, residents must register their naturalized yard online. Staff will review the photographs provided during registration or visit the yard to confirm that it meets the criteria. If a resident’s yard qualifies, they will receive a free yard sign recognizing their stewardship.
