Smoke testing of the sanitary sewer system in Ward 1 from Lakeshore to the Queensway between Cawthra and the Etobicoke Creek.
What are we doing?
The Region of Peel have retained Infrastructure Intelligence
Services (I2S) to complete smoke testing within your neighbourhood. The area to be tested is shown on the map.
Why?
The test will be performed as a first step to identifying the connection points for roof downspouts, catch basins, and other water inlets (i.e. to the sanitary sewer or storm sewer).
When?
Testing in your area (see map on right) is expected to start the week of October 26th and is expected to last two (2) to four (4) days. A staff member will come to your door on the day of testing.
What is Smoke Testing?
Smoke testing is a safe, quick way to identify connections. The smoke used in the test has no odour, isn’t harmful to your health, and will disappear in a few minutes.
What do I need to do?
- Check to see that all plumbing traps under sinks, washing facilities and floor drains have water in
them. Pour a few cups of water into your basement floor drains, and any sinks, showers, or other
plumbing fixtures when you receive this notice. - If smoke enters your home and it is a nuisance to you, leave the affected room until testing is
completed (10-15mins). - If you, or any member of your family, have a health condition that you feel we need to be aware of
please contact the Region of Peel at 905-791-7800, ext. 4409.
The fire department will be notified of the streets being tested. If you have doubt about the origin of smoke, always contact the fire department at 911 or non-emergency communications line at 905-456-5700.
Should you have any further questions please contact Seth Monczka at the Region of Peel at 437-522-4062 or seth.monczka@peelregion.ca. For more information visit https://peelregion.ca/water/your-home/smoke-testing.asp, or follow us on twitter @peelpublicworks.

Regional Council approved a 12-month pilot program pest control subsidy program and study.
The pilot program is being launched in response to resident concerns over an increase in rodent population across Peel. The program will provide a 50 per cent rebate of the incurred costs for the services of a professional pest control service to a maximum of $200 per year. Residents will have to submit invoices from licensed pest control vendors.
“I am pleased that council supported this important step to address a common urban concern. I would like to thank Mississauga Ward 3 Councillor Chris Fonseca for the significant work on behalf of her residents to bring this motion to council,” said Nando Iannicca, Chair of the Regional Council. “She is to be commended for her efforts.”
In conjunction with the pilot subsidy program, the Region will be developing an Integrated Pest Management plan which addresses the root causes of rodent populations, with education as key component.
The pilot program and study are currently being developed. The Region will announce when and how to apply for subsidy once the program has been established.

SCHEDULED WATER SUPPLY INTERRUPTION
The Region of Peel Public Works department regularly maintains and repairs the water system to make sure you have a reliable supply of quality drinking water. Sometimes we must turn off your water supply while we do the work. In the next few days, we will be working in your area and will have to turn off your water for a few hours.
Your water will be turned off on Tuesday, October 13, 2020 from approximately 09:00 a.m. to 05:00 p.m. However, if the weather is bad or if a problem arises, we will reschedule the work and will let you know the new date and time.
When we turn the water back on, air in the pipes may make the water cloudy and your plumbing may vibrate or make noise. If this happens, you can remove the air by briefly 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 should only have to run the water for 10 to 30 seconds, but keep running it until the water is clear and any vibration or noise has stopped.

- (905) 791 – 7800 Ext. 3226 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Monday to Friday)

The City of Mississauga’s Budget Committee considered new and increased fees and charges for 2021 for transit fares, fire and emergency services, planning processing, library, culture programs and rental rates, transportation and works, recreation programs and rental rates, fees for parks, forestry and environment services and fees for general administrative services provided across departments. These revenue sources will help offset the cost of delivering services. The proposed fees and charges will be presented at a Council meeting for approval on October 14, 2020. A number of proposed changes are highlighted in the Budget Committee reports including:
- Recreation fees have a proposed base increase of 3 per cent. Some programs, such as advanced aquatics leadership courses, have recommended an above average increase due to increased operating costs and certification fees.
- Transportation and Works has introduced two new fees in the Works Operations and Maintenance Division for Road Occupancy Permits for utility-related maintenance works ($25 per permit) in addition to a non-compliance fee of $190 related to inspections.
- U-Pass (UTM Student pass) fees will increase as per contract and charter service rates will be adjusted for inflation. In addition, MiWay has introduced two new fees to offset the costs of restoration of on-street transit infrastructure due to road construction and closures. A Transitway Access Permit Fee of $250 per application and a MiWay Stop Infrastructure permit review fee of $400 per stop location have been added.
Additional revenue of approximately $1.9 million is expected from the increases and new fees as outlined in the Oct 7, 2020 Budget Committee reports.
“The revenue from the fees and charges will alleviate some pressures on the property tax rate in 2021,” said Gary Kent, Commissioner of Corporate Services and Chief Financial Officer. “Community and financial recovery is a priority going forward and we are taking the steps necessary to balance offering services with the property tax increase. We continue to encourage public participation and input into our budget process, and we will continue to work with our Council to achieve a budget that meets our City’s needs.”
All Budget Committee and Council meetings are open to the public. The next Budget Committee meeting is scheduled for Monday, November 23, 2020. The full schedule of meetings is available online at Council and Committees Calendar Listings. Final approval of the City of Mississauga’s Budget will follow approval of the Region of Peel Budget.
