STORMWATER MANAGEMENT POND MAINTENANCE (Facility 0801 - Palette Park)
As part of the ongoing maintenance program, the City of Mississauga has partnered with the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund (CWWF) to preform much needed maintenance on several City owned and operated storm water management facilities. The facility in your ward is located within Palette Park, with access off Renshaw Court and Hancock Way.
The scope of work for this project includes, but is not limited to: Installation and maintenance of temporary erosion and sediment control devices, dewatering and removal of sediment from the forebay, drying and disposal of sediment, rehabilitation of the pond geometry, flushing of outlet control structures and completion of minor repairs within the facility, vegetation management, site restoration and ESC removal.
During construction, the contractor will restore the perimeter fence. If you have any fixtures that may interfere with the proposed work on City property, the Contractor will remove them to complete their work. Any damage to private fixtures installed on City property will not be reinstalled or repaired by the City. The City of Mississauga accepts no responsibility for any damages to private fixtures placed on City property.
This work is expected to commence the first week of February, and will take 8-12 weeks to complete, weather dependant.
For more information regarding the construction, please contact @ 905-615-3200:
- Ms. Emily Pellejà, Project Manager: extn. 3699
- Mr. Kevin Offless, City Inspector: extn. 3051

If you've walked in our neighbourhood park or walkways, you no doubt noticed paint peeling from our beautiful pergolas. Over the years, the LPWRA has been working with the City of Mississauga to have these repainted. In spite of our repeated efforts to have them re-painted they continue to peel. We wanted to assure you that we have been communicating with city staff on getting them cleaned up and wanted to provide you with an update.

This year we had we had 8 volunteers help out. Thank you to Margaret Morse and our six grade 9 student volunteers...Julia Craig, Nikki Warren, Michaela Laurie, Kristen Morse, Pedro Brito Ribeiro and Kyle Brito Ribeiro. Four of the students are Watercolours' residents and two are friends of residents. Now, that's friendship! Students earned a few community volunteer hours. We picked up a lot of garbage and had some exercise and fun in the process.
