Project update: Watermain modifications and improvement – water pressure increase
Dixie Road (Mayfield Road to Campbell's Cross Creek)
The Region of Peel will be improving the water system by increasing the water pressure in the pipes within your community. The affected area is indicated on the attached map, within the red line. The purpose of this construction work is to maintain, improve and plan for future growth of existing water services as part of the Region's service commitment to provide safe, clean drinking water.
Your water pressure will increase at some point in December 2022, or January 2023, and you will see a difference in the water flowing from your taps. We are currently in the planning stages, so we can't give exact dates for when we will do the work. We will deliver more detailed information to your home or business closer to the proposed pressure increase date.
Higher pressure and your plumbing
You are responsible for the water pipes and plumbing fixtures on your property and in your home. If your plumbing was correctly constructed and inspected and is in good condition, you should have no concerns.
If your plumbing is not in good condition, you may notice:
- Banging or noisy water pipes when turning faucets on or off,
- Spitting from the water faucet aerator when water is turned on,
- Leaking faucets or running toilets.
If you have any concerns about your plumbing, we recommend you call a licensed plumber. If this pressure increase affects an alarm or maintenance company, it is your responsibility to notify them.
Low-flow fixtures
When you had lower pressure, you may not have been able to use low-flow fixtures. With increased pressure, you will find changing to low-flow toilets, showers, or tap aerators will save both water and money. Learn more at Watersmartpeel.
Water interruptions
We should not have to interrupt your water supply to complete this work, but if we must shut off your water because of an emergency, we will notify you and do everything we can to fix the problem as quickly as possible.
