Watermain system improvements
Indian Grove from South Sheridan Way to 1395 Indian Grove. Project 13-1347 H1
Update on construction in your area
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
- Water samples taken from the large watermain confirmed that it is safe to connect the new watermain to the drinking water system.
- The final two watermain connections, located in front of 1529 and 1325 Indian Grove, have been made. All watermain work has been completed.
Coming up in 2022
- The Contractor will return in spring 2022 to complete the final restoration work (i.e. paving, curb and sidewalk, driveways, sod and landscaping). We will let you know when the Contractor plans to return to site.
- The temporary sidewalk will not be maintained during the winter. Residents should use the existing sidewalk on the south/east side of the road.
Anticipated completion
- All watermain work has been completed. Final restoration work (i.e. paving, curb and sidewalk, driveways, sod and landscaping) will be completed in spring 2022.
Reducing the impact of construction
- For everyone’s safety, please do not drive 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.
Did you know
- Water towers and water reservoirs are very important to the water distribution system. The difference in elevation between where water is stored and where it is used is what creates the pressure that allows the water to freely flow from your tap. This means that the distribution system is not affected by short term power failures because the system is fed by gravity.
