New Water Service Connections to all Properties between Mineola Road to Pinetree Way
May 3, 2023 to May 31, 2023 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
What work is taking place?
As utility upgrades progress in the area, crews will be connecting all properties along Hurontario Street, between Mineola and Pinetree Way, to the new watermain infrastructure that has recently been installed along the road alignment. The work is expected to take place as early as May 3 and will last approximately one month to May 31. Crews will be working Monday to Saturday, starting at 7 a.m. each day. Some overnight work will be required at the direction of the Region of Peel for temporary water service disruptions during the connections.
All the connection points are within the municipal right of way. Most of the connection points are located within the municipal side of existing driveways or the public boulevard. To make these connections, crews will need to excavate a small area up to the property line. As a result, there may be temporary impacts to water service, driveway access, and lawns/trees/hedging that are in direct conflict with the connection points. All impacted driveways will be temporarily restored using hot mix asphalt until permanent restoration takes place with final grading and re-surfacing. Any disruption to lawns/trees/ hedging will be reinstated during the final landscaping phase of the project. Individual property owners/managers directly impacted will be notified by the Region of Peel in advance of the impacts specific to their water service connection.
All works will be carried out in accordance with the Ontario Municipalities Act for the purposes of providing a water public utility with respect to accessing private property as needed. For more information on this Act please visit the government of Ontario webpage on public utilities at https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/01m25#BK89
