ADVANCE NOTICE Watermain Improvement East Avenue and Rangeview Road

By Resources, Ward 1

Peel Region is planning to install new watermains in your area within the next two years, as shown on the attached map. Watermains are underground pipes that bring tap water from our water treatment plants to your neighbourhood. As our population grows, we need to build larger watermains to keep providing high quality water services.

Important note
This upcoming construction will take place in the municipal right-of-way and within permanent easements.
• The municipal right-of way includes the street and the land owned by your city between the street and your water service box (small, round metal valve in either your driveway or lawn).
• An easement is where Peel Region has obtained legal access to enter your property for the purposes of maintaining and improving Regional infrastructure.

This work may impact the bottom of your driveway and the area around the sidewalk. We therefore recommend delaying any major landscaping or driveway paving until after this construction has been completed.

Before construction begins
Before we start construction, you may notice several activities in your area:
1. We will survey your street and use temporary spray paint or flags to mark the location of underground gas, hydro, and cable on roads, driveways, and lawns.
2. We may drill holes in the road or municipal right-of-way (the land between the street and your water service box) to collect soil samples, determine ground conditions, or confirm utility locations.
3. We will take pictures and record video to help us restore the area as close as possible to its former condition, after construction takes place.
We expect these activities to take place between May 2024 and December 2024.

Keeping you informed
We are currently in the early planning stages, so we can’t give exact dates for when we will do the work.
In addition, as your city’s future planning activities may change, we may alter our plans to improve watermains in your neighbourhood. We will deliver more detailed information to your home or business closer to the proposed construction date.

ADVANCE NOTICE Sanitary Sewer Replacement and Improvement Mattawa Avenue

By Resources, Ward 1

Peel Region is planning to replace the sanitary sewers in your area within the next two years, as shown on the attached map. Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from your home to a wastewater treatment plant. Wastewater is created when water goes down the drain or is flushed down the toilet. As pipes age and our population grows, we need to replace older watermains and sewers to keep providing high quality wastewater services to you.

Hydro One Vegetation Maintenance

By Resources

Hydro One is responsible for maintaining a safe distance between vegetation and power lines to keep the corridor safe for public use, keep the lights on, and to allow easy and safe access for our crews. This important work ensures that Hydro One can continue to provide a supply of safe and reliable electricity.

What to Expect

As part of our work, our Forestry Technicians will selectively identify for removal or trimming (if possible) trees and other vegetation that could pose a risk to the electrical system. In advance of work starting, our team will deliver notices (please see attached notice) to adjacent property owners and engage residents that have work required on their property. Our Forestry Technician will make every effort to contact property owners in advance. Access to the hydro corridor may be limited during this time to ensure the safety of our crews and the public. Signs will be posted in parks and community trails and our staff will re-direct community members around the closures.

Work Methods

Our Forestry crews will use the following methods to complete this work:

  • Manual trimming and removals of trees and other vegetation will be completed with hand tools such as chainsaws and pruners. Bucket trucks and wood chippers will also be onsite, as required.
  • Mechanical equipment (grinders) will be used to remove incompatible vegetation, and clean-up cut and trmmed vegetation.
