City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department, wishes to advise the public of an emergency watermain repair in the following areas.

Area

Father Costello Dr. from Vipond to McIntyre Rd. and down McIntyre are., including the McIntyre Community Centre .

Time of Disruption



Effective immediately. Homeowners will experience temporary loss of water until approximately 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, January 28, 2025. This is to facilitate repairs of the watermain break at the McIntyre Community Centre.
