East to West Diversion Sanitary Trunk Sewer
Contract 1. Project # 16-2291
Project updates
The Region of Peel will be installing a large sanitary sewer pipe along Derry Rd. West. View area map (PDF). The pipe will be constructed completely in a tunnel. In order to do the tunneling, four large access points will be created for the tunnel along the construction route.
This work is to improve the existing wastewater service. Wastewater comes from flushing toilets, having a shower or washing dishes. Sanitary sewer pipes take wastewater from your home to a treatment plant.
Reducing the impact of construction
- Construction activities will be contained within fenced areas located away from Derry Rd. West to minimize any traffic impacts.
- Should construction require an interruption to your water supply, we will contact you to arrange a convenient time. If an emergency shutdown is required, we will inform you and attempt to minimize the inconvenience.
