Watermain installation, replacement and relocations
Mayfiels Road from Martin Byrne Drive to Coleraine Drive and The Gore Road from Mayfield Road to 250M north of Squire Ellis Drive
We wish to thank you for your patience and courtesy while our construction takes place along Mayfield Road. Over the last three months, trees along the right-of-way have been removed and tunneling operations have been carried out under the West Humber River and two other creek crossings further east along Mayfield Road.
This project update is being provided to you to inform you that watermain construction will soon begin, starting at Martin Byrne Drive, heading east along Mayfield Road. During this time, traffic control will be implemented along Mayfield Road in several locations in order for watermain installation to proceed. We ask that during this time, please drive carefully and obey the temporary posted speed limits. There may be some minor delays at certain times, so we ask for your patience. We will try to keep the delays to a minimum.
What are we doing?
- Installing, replacing and improving the water infrastructure along Mayfield Road as shown on the attached map.
- Replacing the water service pipe to your service box.
Why?
- Installation of water infrastructure in preparation of the future road widening of Mayfield Road.
- To upgrade the water system capacity and reliability as part of the Region of Peel’s State of Good Repair program.
When?
- Watermain installation is expected to begin the week of March 29, 2021, starting on Mayfield Road at Martin Byrne Drive.
- The project is anticipated to be completed by the Winter of 2022. All work is under warranty for two years from the completion date.

Working hours
- Our contractor’s normal working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. These hours are consistent with the local municipality’s bylaws. We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but a shorter working day would mean the project would take longer to complete.
- There are several known tasks that will require night work. The Region shall advise the immediate public and residents for these and any other work scheduled outside of the normal working hours, with advanced notice.
Traffic and parking control
- We may need to reduce traffic to a single lane during construction. Traffic delays should be expected.
- There will be a temporary road closure of The Gore Road between Mayfield Road and 100m north of Mayfield Road. A detour route will be in place to direct vehicular movement around the construction zone and closure.
- If we have to reroute traffic, we will place signs giving directions.
Driveway access
- Due to construction activities, we may need to block your driveway for a short time. We will contact you before we do this to arrange for the best time and for alternate access, if needed. If your driveway is blocked, you may choose to park on a side street for a short time. If you need immediate access to your driveway, the contractor will have road plates available to quickly allow access in and out of your driveway.
- We will make sure businesses have access at all times.
- Please call the Project Manager if you have special needs related to access or business hours.
Irrigation or sprinkler systems
- Please tell the inspector if you have underground irrigation or a sprinkler system outside your property line.
- You may wish to move the sprinkler lines to inside your private property to avoid damage.
Interrupting your water supply
- It is our goal to let you know 48 hours (2 days) in advance if we need to shut off your water. Occasionally, we may have to reduce this notice to 24 hours.
- For water interruption during service transfers, the contractor will notify you the day of the transfer as this will be a brief interruption. This will ensure proper notification for short duration works.
- If we have to shut off your water because of an emergency, we will do everything we can to fix the problem as quickly as possible.
Waste collection
- Your garbage, recycling and organics containers will continue to be picked up on your regularly scheduled day. It is the contractor’s responsibility to move your garbage, recycling and organics bins to a location where our collection vehicles can pick them up. Empty containers will be returned to their corresponding addresses. Please make sure your house number is clearly marked on each bin.
Vibrations
- You may feel slight vibrations from the construction work.
Replacing and Taking Care of Your Sod
- The contractor will take care of any sod we replace for 30 days.
- You can help the sod to stay healthy by watering it for one hour in the early morning, two or three times a week. This is especially important in hot or dry weather.
- We will replace your sod as soon as we can, but there may be a short delay.
- It is very common for the work area to settle a bit following construction. If you notice any settlement, please let the Project Manager or inspector know and we will ensure the contractor fixes it.
Repairing your driveway
- If we need to cut your driveway to replace the existing service valve or access the watermain, we will repair the driveway in the disturbed area from edge to edge across the driveway. Unfortunately, the Region cannot completely replace your driveway.
- Several weeks before the driveway restoration work, we will send you an update with contact information for the contractor, in case you wish to have the remainder of your driveway (private side) paved at the same time.
- If you have any concerns, please call the Project Manager.
- We will repair your driveway as soon as we can, but there may be a short delay.
Repairing the road, curbs, and sidewalks
- We will start restoring the road and boulevard once all replacements and service transfers are complete and as weather permits.
- We will complete the restoration on a street-by-street basis.
Project updates
- The Region of Peel will always let you know if there are any major changes to the plans.
- We will try to disturb you as little as possible.
- Please call the project manager or inspector if you have any concerns or special needs.
