City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department, wishes to advise the public of an emergency watermain repair in the following area.
Area
Vimy Ave. between Theriault Blvd. and Gillies Ave.
Time of Disruption
Vimy between Theriault Blvd. and Gillies Ave. is closed now. Repairs are estimated to start April 3, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. until late evening. Homeowners in the area may be experiencing low water pressure and discoloured water.
It is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with discoloured water. While it is not harmful to your health, it can stain laundry.
