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.

Intersection upgrades at Airport Road and Westmount Boulevard will begin the week of July 21, 2025. The work was approved by City Council last April, with over $965K invested to improve road safety, drainage, and bring the intersection into compliance with accessibility standards.
Planned improvements include new traffic signals that meet AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act) standards, upgraded pedestrian crosswalks featuring tactile plates for improved accessibility, and enhanced drainage systems along both the roadway and the adjacent activity trail to reduce water accumulation and improve overall usability.
The upgrades are expected to significantly reduce future infrastructure challenges while creating a safer environment for both pedestrians and motorists.
Work will begin with site preparation during the week of July 21. In the first phase of construction, traffic on Airport Rd. will not be impacted and access to local businesses will remain open. Westmount Blvd. from Airport Rd. to Emilie St. will be limited to local traffic only. A designated pedestrian pathway will be maintained and clearly fenced on both sides for those crossing Westmount Blvd. at Airport Rd.
As construction progresses, the City will provide updates on traffic control for each phase of the project. The City of Timmins appreciates the public’s patience as we work to improve community infrastructure and accessibility.
