The City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of a scheduled water infrastructure maintenance of the Standpipe (Water Tower) that may affect the color of water within the following areas:

Areas:
• Tower Rd. & Brunette Rd. Area

Date and Time of Disruption:
• April 25, 2024, from 8:00PM till April 30, 2024

The maintenance activities at the Hollinger Standpipe (Water Tower) will include the draining of the standpipe to allow for inspections and cleaning. During the draining of the standpipe water may accumulate in low lying areas within the Hollinger Park.

All homes and businesses in the affected area could experience coloured water and/or lower water pressure during this schedule water maintenance. 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 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 colour has returned to normal.

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