Between May 21 and May 31, The Township will conduct annual watermain flushing north of Garafraxa St and east of St. David St N.
Over time, naturally occurring minerals found in our groundwater can build up as sediment in the pipes. Watermain flushing is the process used to clean watermains of this sediment. This is accomplished by flushing high-velocity water through fire hydrants. Watermain flushing improves water quality and only clean water is used in the process.
To reduce customer inconvenience, watermain flushing operations are conducted overnight, between the hours of 9:00 pm and 5:00 am, Monday to Friday.
Water at your home may be discoloured after watermain cleaning. It is recommended that customers fully open their cold water faucets to flush this water out. In most cases, the water should begin to run clear again within a few minutes. In cases where discoloured water or drop in pressure lasts for an extended period of time, please contact us at 519.846.9691 ext.905
