The City of Timmins Environmental Services & Public Utilities Department wishes to advise the public of a watermain break affecting the water pressure in the Timmins Area. The watermain break has now been isolated, pressures are back to normal and is being scheduled for an emergency repair.

Area:
• Timmins Area

Time of Disruption:
• September 19, 2023, 1:00PM

Homeowners in that area may experience low-pressure, brown or rust-colored water. It is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with 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.
