The City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of a bypass & overflow at the Mattagami Water Pollution Control Plant.

Address: 551 Airport Road
Start date: July 15, 2025
Start time: 9:43 PM
End date: July 15, 2025
End time: 11:05 PM
Volume by-passed: 879.91 m3

Municipal wastewater consists of 99% water from stormwater and homes/businesses from washing, flushing etc. When a treatment plant or treatment process is overwhelmed, a bypass or overflow can occur. These events are often caused by heavy rainfall and/or snowmelt. During a by-pass or overflow, partially treated wastewater is diverted away from a treatment process to prevent backups, overflows or damage to the system.

Residents can help mitigate flows by delaying or limiting unnecessary usage such as laundry, shower length, dishwashing etc. during rain storms.

City staff would like to thank residents for their assistance in reducing water usage during this time.

The City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of a scheduled water infrastructure maintenance affecting the following area:

South Porcupine Area:
HWY 101 E (The Connecting Link): from Crawford St. to Lawrence St.

Date and Time of Disruption:
July 17, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

Properties in the area may experience no water, low pressure and brown or rust-coloured water during the 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.

Environmental Services Department would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this scheduled work.

The City of Timmins is moving forward with plans to relocate part of its water infrastructure and build capacity in the municipal water system. Council has awarded a $26,682,700 contract to Landmark Structures for the construction of the Tisdale Water Tower.

The new elevated water tower will replace aging infrastructure and support the community’s long-term water needs. The major infrastructure project will also allow the City to relocate critical components of the city’s water storage system away from expanding mining activity near the Discovery Silver tailings site and closer to South Porcupine. 4517 Goldmine Rd. has been identified as the ideal location for the new facility.

“The selected site offers numerous benefits including proximity to existing water services,” said Scott Tam, Director of Growth and Infrastructure. “There will be minimal environmental and archaeological impact, and suitable elevation.”

After evaluating two design options, the City has chosen an elevated tower based on a combination of long-term cost-efficiency, reduced maintenance requirements, and improved operational reliability. The new water tower will stand approximately 58 metres tall and hold 10 million litres (ML) of potable water. Its height enables water to flow into the municipal distribution system using gravity, eliminating the need for mechanical pumping and reducing long-term operating and maintenance expenses.

“Council is investing in sustainable, long-term infrastructure solutions that ensure reliable water service and support quality of life,” said Mayor Michelle Boileau. “By building capacity in our water system now, we can effectively plan for future growth and increased demand on critical infrastructure.”

The current Tisdale Reservoir on Langmuir Road will be decommissioned once the new tower is fully operational. The project will be phased over three years, and the City is seeking federal funding through the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund to help offset some of the municipal cost.
