The City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of a scheduled water infrastructure maintenance of the Standpipe (Water Tower) that may affect the color of water within the following areas:

Areas:
• Tower Rd. & Brunette Rd. Area

Date and Time of Disruption:
• April 25, 2024, from 8:00PM till April 30, 2024

The maintenance activities at the Hollinger Standpipe (Water Tower) will include the draining of the standpipe to allow for inspections and cleaning. During the draining of the standpipe water may accumulate in low lying areas within the Hollinger Park.

All homes and businesses in the affected area could experience coloured water and/or lower water pressure during this 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.

City staff would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this work.

Timmins Transit is continuing an Earth Day tradition … free bus rides on Monday, April 22.

Helping our planet can be as simple as choosing public transportation. Riding the bus can help lower our greenhouse gas emissions and conserve energy and fuel by reducing the number of private vehicles on the road.

But the benefits of public transportation do not stop there.

Did you know?

• Public transit makes our roads safer. Transit operators generally have more driver training, drive at lower speeds, and avoid high-risk driving situations.
• Public transit reduces traffic congestion. This is particularly helpful during busy road construction and maintenance months.
• Public transit can increase your physical activity. A bus ride often starts and ends with some form of activity (like walking) to and from the bus stop.

On Monday, April 22 ride the bus for planet earth! It’s free and it’ll give the environment a break. Where will you go?
