Hydrant Flushing - April 29th to May 13th, 2024

NOTICE

HYDRANT FLUSHING

Please be advised that hydrant flushing will commence in the West end of Town beginning on Monday April 29th, 2024 and beginning in the East end of Town on Monday May 13th, 2024.

Flushing is part of a routine maintenance program that is necessary to maintain the integrity of the water system, remove sediment from water mains, verify the proper operation of hydrants and valves, and maintain firefighting capability.

Residents throughout Town may experience a drop in water pressure and water may be rusty or cloudy due to flushing of the distribution system. If you have rust-coloured water please run your COLD WATER TAPS ONLY (suggested taps: outside hose, bathtub or laundry tub) until the water is clear.

Please DO NOT use your hot water until you have clean running water again.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. 

If you have any questions, please contact the Public Works Department at 613-584-2000, ext. 127.
