The City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of hydrant flushing/watermain cleaning activities in the following areas:
Area:
• Mountjoy Area – Starting Pavillion Drive heading West to Jaguar Drive
Time of Disruption:
• August 13, 2024, until September 30, 2024
Homeowners and/or businesses within the area might experience water service disruptions which can include but not limited to short-term low pressure and/or discoloured water. It is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with discoloured water. Should this occur, it is advised to turn off your tap for 10-20 minutes in order to allow the crew to complete the test. While it is not harmful to your health, it can stain laundry. Should the water be discoloured, it is advised to turn on the COLD water tap closest to the source (usually your laundry tub tap) and let it run for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the water colour has returned to normal.
City staff would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this necessary process and advise that if there are any concerns or requests for additional information, they may contact the Service Timmins at 705-264-1331.
