Cadetta sewer charges will recover a revised $4.67-million estimated cost from benefiting properties under a decision Peel Council adopted on June 25. The approved recovery covers a sanitary sewer in Brampton’s Ward 10; it is not a statement of money already spent or collected.
Council’s minutes, item 9.6, put the revised figure at $4,669,862.87, excluding applicable taxes, compared with $1,317,784.09 under the original 2021 by-law. The difference is $3,352,078.78.
Council retained an allocation split equally between assessed lot frontage and assessed lot area. It established the owners’ portion as a recovery under capital project 21-2710 and provided for annual charges over 15 years. The minutes also record enactment of By-law 41-2026.
What changed behind the Cadetta sewer charges
The June 18 Committee of Revision minutes record approval of the revised estimate and addition of 30 Cadetta Road to the improvement roll. The City of Brampton, identified as that property’s owner, requested that the committee dispense with an adjournment.
The June 25 staff report describes approximately 477 metres of sewer serving 13 benefiting properties. Staff attribute the increase mainly to construction inflation and scope identified during detailed design, including a more complex connection to the Highway 50 trunk sewer and deeper excavation requirements.
There is an unresolved difference in that explanation: the report’s cost-increase table totals approximately $3,502,213, about $150,134 more than the difference between the adopted estimates. The table therefore does not reconcile exactly with the approved totals.
What the estimate covers
The report includes design, construction and administration. Private-property service connections remain owners’ responsibility and are outside the special charge. Brampton-funded road and stormwater improvements are also separate.
These records establish the approved estimate and recovery framework. They do not establish the final tender price, payments collected or completion date. The schedule attached to the by-law lists property-specific allocations; the aggregate estimate should not be treated as a bill for any one property. The reviewed by-law attachment does not state a numeric final interest rate.
