Peel Region recognizes Imagine a Day Without Water

BRAMPTON, ON – On October 17, Peel Region will join communities around the world in recognizing Imagine a Day Without Water, a day of awareness dedicated to highlighting the value of water — our most essential resource. This day encourages us to reflect on how safe, clean, and reliable water impacts our daily lives, and consider what life might look like without it.   

Peel Region treats and distributes hundreds of millions of litres of water each day. Using advanced technology, Peel’s water treatment facilities remove harmful chemicals and microorganisms, ensuring the highest quality tap water. This treated water travels through pipes to homes and businesses, undergoing rigorous monitoring along the way.  

The wastewater treatment process ensures that water collected from the community is thoroughly cleaned before being safely returned to Lake Ontario. Peel’s wastewater collection system spans over 3,400 kilometers of pipes and treats over 630 million liters of wastewater daily.   

Peel also acknowledges the critical role of water and wastewater staff in safeguarding the health of residents and the environment. Their dedication ensures that clean, safe water is always available to the community. To learn more about Peel’s water and wastewater services, visit peelregion.ca/water.
