The City of Timmins Environmental Services & Public Utilities department wishes to advise the public of an emergency water infrastructure repair affecting water quality for Patricia Blvd. between Brousseau Ave. to Ross Ave. Repairs are scheduled for Thursday July 13, 2023 from 8:00 am to approximately 6:00 pm.

All homes and businesses in the affected area could be without water for a few hours as well colored water and lower than normal water pressures.

Homeowners in that area may experience brown or rust-colored water during the schedule water maintenance. It is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with the discolored water. While it is not harmful to your health, it can stain laundry. Should this occur, 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 color has returned to normal.

City staff would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this work.
