Watermain replacement and improvement
Glen Erin Drive. Project 21-1310A
Peel Region recently installed a new watermain in your neighbourhood and then completed temporary restoration ahead of the City of Mississauga’s scheduled road resurfacing project in 2024.
We will be returning to your neighbourhood to do some additional repair work on streets, remove old hydrants, curbs, sidewalks, and grassy areas. This work will take place along Glen Erin Drive The work will be overseen by Vic’s Group under contract to Peel Region.
Construction schedule
This work is planned to occur between October 23, 2023, and November 10, 2023. As this work depends on the weather, these dates may change.
Traffic and parking
We may need to temporarily close roads or reduce traffic to a single lane while repair work is underway. If we must reroute traffic, we will place signs giving directions. On-street parking will be reduced during construction when we are actively working on your street. If you need to park on the street, please park outside the active construction area.
Replacing and taking care of your sod
The contractor will replace any damaged sod (grass) on the boulevard or your front lawn, and will take care of the new sod for 30 days. You can help the sod stay healthy by watering it. A longer ‘deep root watering’ works better to establish new sod than watering more frequently for a shorter time. Watering in the early morning allows more water to soak in rather than evaporating.
Temporary restoration
The City of Mississauga is planning to complete roadwork on your street within the next few years. As this roadwork may impact the driveway, boulevard, street, curbs, and sidewalks, we will:
- Pave only the areas of the street directly disturbed,
- Fix damaged curbs using asphalt,
- Patch your driveway to cover any places we disturbed, as the future roadwork may affect the bottom of your driveway. After the city/town paves your street, the driveway will be repaired by paving a stripe over the disturbed area, resulting in minimal seams in the final driveway.
Peel Region’s repairs are temporary, as the City of Mississauga will complete restoration as part of their roadwork. Your city will send you a separate notice about this additional construction.
Driveway access and parking
We may need to block your driveway for a short time during paving activities. Whenever possible, we will work to ensure businesses can be accessed.
Warranty on construction repairs
Repair work completed as part of this watermain replacement project is under warranty until two years after project completion.
It is normal for repaired areas to settle a bit in the coming months. If you notice large potholes forming where the driveway, street, or lawn was repaired, please let us know and we will ensure the contractor fixes this before the end of the warranty period.
Safety during construction
Construction zones require extra caution to keep everyone safe – pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and construction workers. When driving, walking, or biking through the construction area, please be aware of your surroundings, watch for construction crews and other road users, slow down, account for delays, and consider other routes if possible.
