Watermain system improvements
Update on construction in your area – South Sheridan Way, Indian Grove and Indian Road. Project 13-1347 H1
The Region of Peel is replacing aging watermain on Indian Grove as part of our maintenance program. The current watermain was installed in the 1950s and is at the end of its lifespan.
A larger watermain that provides water to the Lorne Park area will also be installed along with the smaller (local) watermain on Indian Grove. The local watermain is on one side of the street with the larger watermain to follow on the opposite side of the street.
Completed work
- Temporary pavement restorations have been completed at the south end of Indian Grove.
- The Contractor completed exploratory investigations for future watermain connections.
- South Sheridan Way is now closed west of Indian Grove for watermain installation. The road will be closed from Tridom Court to Indian Grove for approximately three weeks from Monday, July 5 to Friday, July 23, 2021.
Coming up in the next two weeks
- The contractor will continue construction of the larger watermain starting on South Sheridan Way and working south down Indian Grove.
- The Contractor will be constructing a new valve chamber and sanitary manhole on South Sheridan Way.
- Some watermain work is anticipated on Indian Grove at Indian Road.
Anticipated completion
- We are on schedule to complete most of the work (including all digging) by the end of 2021. Some restoration work (i.e. sod and landscaping) may need to be completed in Spring 2022.
Reducing the impact of construction
- We are on schedule to complete most of the work (including all digging) by the end of 2021. Some restoration work (i.e. sod and landscaping) may need to be completed in Spring 2022.
- For everyone’s safety, please avoid driving through the active construction area. Residents should access their property from the south end of Indian Grove if their property is south of the active construction area, and from the north end if their property is north of construction.
- We may need to block your driveway for a short time. We will contact you to arrange for the best time and for alternate access, if needed. Pedestrian access will always be maintained.
- We may need to temporarily shut off your water when connecting to the new watermain. It is our goal to let you know 48 hours (2 days) in advance if we need to do this. Occasionally, we may have to reduce this notice to 24 hours. We will do our best to notify you.
- If we must shut off your water because of an emergency, we will do everything we can to fix the problem as quickly as possible.
- We will let you know if there are any significant project changes.
In-ground sprinkler systems
- We recommend that you remove your sprinkler lines within 3 metres of the curb to avoid damage.
- Please email us if you would like to discuss your underground irrigation or sprinkler system outside your property line.
Did you know
- Your water valves can slide up and down, and we tend to leave them up until we have finished sodding. If you have any concerns with this, let us know. Laying sod in hot temperatures is not ideal for the health of the sod, so there may be a delay in your sod being laid. If there is a settlement issue on your front lawn around your water service box, please let us know so we can fix it.
