The Region of Peel 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, January 24th, from approximately 8:30 am to 5:00 pm. If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.
If this interruption may affect an alarm or maintenance company, it is your responsibility to notify them. During the time that the water supply is interrupted, the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function. A fire watch should be performed as necessary during time period.
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). Flush the toilets as well. 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 your water meter (usually located in the basement). If it is leaking, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:

Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services (MFES) has welcomed two anticipated, state-of-the-art heavy rescue vehicles. This purchase is a significant milestone for MFES as it marks the first time it has acquired heavy rescue vehicles of this calibre. It also marks a notable advancement in the City’s commitment to ensuring the highest level of safety measures and preparedness for its residents and neighbourhoods.
One of the two new heavy rescue vehicles
“These new heavy rescue vehicles represent a substantial investment in the safety and well-being of our community,” said Deryn Rizzi, Fire Chief and Director of Emergency Management. “They are integral to our mission of providing prompt and effective emergency response services, ensuring that our highly skilled firefighters have the necessary resources to handle complex and challenging situations efficiently.”
What is a heavy rescue vehicle?
Heavy rescue vehicles provide Mississauga’s highly skilled and trained firefighters with state-of-the-art resources to efficiently respond to challenging and complex situations. They are uniquely designed to carry specialized equipment used for complex emergency scenarios such as:
Light and heavy vehicle collisions
Trench rescues
High and low angle rope rescues
Confined space rescues
Industrial, machine and elevator accidents
Structural fires
Medical emergencies
Heavy rescue vehicle features
In addition to firefighting gear, these heavy rescue vehicles are equipped with a variety of technical rescue tools, including:
Battery-powered hydraulic extrication tools
Stabilizing struts used to provide structural shoring and vehicle stabilization
Rope rescue devices
Confined space equipment
Trench rescue tools
Rigging hardware
Machinery and elevator rescue tools, among many others
The heavy rescue vehicles will be strategically deployed across Mississauga to maximize coverage and improve response times, further enhancing MFES’s ability to protect lives and property. These new vehicles will also provide support for emergencies such as structure fires, atmospheric testing, medical crises, and motor vehicle collisions.
Technical specifications of the heavy rescue vehicle
Make: Pierce Manufacturing, Appleton WI
Cab: Five passenger, extended cab with interior storage cabinets
Body:
24’ Walk-in Rescue, 78” interior height
Fixed front bumper 12,000 lb winch & 9,000 lb mobile winch – To assist with the pulling and stabilizing of vehicles.
Eight rope rescue anchor points – This assists with both low and high angle rope rescue manoeuvers.
Onan 25kW PTO driven on-board generator – This will provide auxiliary electrical power for various on-board tools and equipment.
200’ electric and air hose reels.
Will-Burt Night Scan Chief Roof Mounted LED Light Tower – This provides lighting at night, during emergencies.
Atlas-Copco 16.7 CFM @175 psi on-board air compressor – This provides compressed air for pneumatic tools and equipment.
Future additions to the MFES fleet: electric-powered pumper vehicle
In addition to the heavy rescue vehicles, MFES will also add its first-ever electric-powered pumper vehicle to its fleet this year. The vehicle will support the City in lowering its carbon emissions while boasting eco-friendly features that minimize noise and exhaust emissions. The electric range of the EV pumper is expected to be approximately 100 km. The vehicle will require a 90-minute charging cycle to fully power up the battery using a DC fast charger.
Example of a Pierce EV Powertrain
About the MFES vehicle fleet
The heavy rescue vehicles are a valuable addition to the MFES fleet, which will now consist of 17 Pumpers, eight Aerials, four Squads, two Heavy Rescues, one electric-powered Pumper (due to arrive in August 2024) and several other support vehicles including a Hazardous Response Vehicle, Air Rehab Unit, Command Post and three District Chief Command vehicles.
On average, MFES responds to 30,000 emergency calls annually, making it essential to have a robust fleet of emergency vehicles that can handle any situation at a moment’s notice.

The Ontario Rental Registry is an online database where tenants can anonymously register their rents. The purpose of the registry is to track rising rents across the province. This will lead to better, publicly-available housing data that can help protect and create more affordable housing. You can access the registry by going to rental registry.ca.
The Rental Registry was created by a Montreal based non-profit, Vivre en Ville, with support from CMHC. The registry was first introduced in Quebec and has over 30,000+ rents voluntarily registered. The rental registry is easy, quick and secure as it was designed to be compliant with SOC2 cybersecurity standards.
Why ACORN supports the Ontario Rental Registry:
Greater transparency for renters so they can make informed decisions about where they choose to live
Better housing data can help inform affordable housing policies
Over time, the rentalregistrywill track increases in the rents of individual units. This data will ensure tenants are not being charged more than the legal amount in cases where tenants’ rights are often not respected. For example: when tenants try to exercise the right to return to their unit at the same rent after major renovations (ie. renovictions) OR when a tenant has finished paying an ‘Above-the-Guideline-Increase’ (AGI) and their rent is supposed to be reduced. Better enforcement of these current provincial housing laws will help preserve existing affordable housing.
