2024 Fall Hydrant Flushing - October 1 to November 5

HYDRANT FLUSHING NOTICE

Please be advised that hydrant flushing will start across Town beginning on Tuesday October 1st, 2024, starting in the West End and moving to the East End. Flushing will run until November 5h, 2024 but may be extended due to unforeseeable circumstances.  

Flushing is part of a routine maintenance program that is necessary to maintain the integrity of the water system, remove sediment from water mains, verify the proper operation of hydrants and valves, and maintain firefighting capability.

Residents throughout Town may experience a drop in water pressure and water may be discoloured or cloudy due to flushing of the distribution system. If you have discoloued water please run your COLD-WATER TAPS ONLY (suggested taps: outside hose, bathtub or laundry tub) until the water is clear.

Please DO NOT use your hot water until you have clear running water again.

 If you have any questions, please contact the Public Works Department     at 613.584.2000, ext. 127

 We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
