Mattagami Water Pollution Control Plant Digester Cleaning
The City of Timmins would like to inform residents that contractors will be on-site at the Mattagami Water Pollution Control Plant to perform digester cleaning activities beginning on June 11, 2025, and continuing for several weeks.
This work is required to ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of the Mattagami WPCP treatment system. We do not anticipate any impact to the final effluent.
The work will take place Monday through Friday between approximately 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM, with the possibility of weekend work as needed.
During this time, residents may notice:
• Increased vehicle activity near the plant, including contractor equipment and haulage trucks;
• Possible odors associated with the cleaning process; and
• Occasional noise related to equipment operation.
The City appreciates the public’s understanding and cooperation during this period.
We’re reminding residents that only human waste and small amounts of toilet paper should be flushed. Baby wipes, feminine products, dental floss, cotton swabs, cleaning and disinfectant wipes, toilet bowl scrubbers and paper towels might be labeled "flushable," but they are not!
These products do not break down in the sewer system and can cause plugs in sewer pipes and pumps, resulting in sewer backups, overflows, costly cleanups and sewage equipment replacement. While it may seem convenient to dispose of various materials in this manner, it can have severe consequences for our sewage works. Please dispose of non-flushable items in the waste receptacle, ensuring they are properly bagged.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter. By working together to practice responsible waste disposal, we can help maintain the integrity of our sewage system.
