UPDATE 1:20 p.m. - phone lines are working again. Thank you for your patience.

Service Timmins would like to advise the public that we are currently experiencing technical difficulties with telephone services and are working to have them resolved as soon as possible. 

While these issues are being rectified, we encourage anyone attempting to reach Service Timmins to do so by email at servicetimmins@timmins.ca or through the Citizen Service Centre at service.timmins.ca. 

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We are committed to offering excellent customer service and thank you for your patience.

The City of Timmins Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of hydrant flushing/watermain cleaning activities in the following areas.

• Area: 1) City crews will be working in the Schumacher Area including Gold Center and Goldmine Road.

• Area: 2) All of Mountjoy TWSP- commencing at Mattagami bridge, heading West and North- to Jaguar Road

• Time of Disruption: April 26 2021 7:30am until May 07 2021 12:00pm

Homeowners and businesses may experience short-term loss in water pressure or experience brown or rust-coloured water following the testing. It is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with the discoloured water. While it is not harmful to your health, it can stain laundry. 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. Once the test is complete and the work crew has left the area, 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 questions, concerns or requests for additional information, they may contact the Service Timmins at 705-264-1331. After-hours emergencies should be directed to 705-264-1201.

We ask that you DO NOT place your waste carts for collection curb side until 7:30am to reduce the risk of collection disruptions and damages.

We would also like to remind the public that the Winter Parking Ban is in effect. Parking on the street is not permitted on any day between the hours of 11:30 pm to 7:30 am, from November 1 through April 30.

September 22, 2019 - Please be advised that the Schumacher flag poles will be removed this week and new poles re-installed.  This work should be completed by early next week.  

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

We would like to inform everyone that we will be doing a controlled release of ammonia at the Archie Dillon Sportsplex Arena starting today from 1:00pm - 4:30pm and 8:00am – 4:30pm for the remainder of the week. The Timmins Fire department, Porcupine Health Unit and the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks have been notified of this planned release.

The City of Timmins Engineering Department would like to advise the Public that a Sewer Lining and Manhole Rehabilitation project will be commencing from Tuesday September 08, 2020 until Friday October 30, 2020.

The Engineering Department is advising the residents that we will have crews investigating various sewer main systems within the City of Timmins. Camera trucks and vacuum trucks will be onsite. Residents should be aware they may hear gurgling sounds coming from their toilet or sinks.

During the installation of the new liner, you may notice an odor similar to fiberglass. This odor if detected is coming from your service (connection that runs between your house and sewer main) through in most cases, a dried out drain trap. It is a common occurrence and can be avoided by pouring water into the basement floor drains or any other location (laundry or tub) that may not be in regular use. Pouring water or placing a wet cloth into these locations will prevent the odor from accumulating in your home. Please note that the odor is not harmful. 

The following areas will be affected:

• South Porcupine (Legion, Shamrock, Bloor, Moore, Golden, Quebec, Main, Laffin and Evans)
• Porcupine (Lamarche Easement)
• Timmins South (Downtown Timmins laneways, Preston)

• Timmins North (Seventh Easement )

Traffic controls will be in place and drivers are asked to slow down when proceeding through the work zone.

To minimize face to face contact between residents and on-site staff due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we ask that residents with inquires direct them through Service Timmins at 705-264-1331.

We thank you for your patience and cooperation during this time.
