The City of Timmins Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the Public of hydrant flushing/watermain cleaning activities in the following areas.

Areas:
• Timmins North Area: Starting at McLean Dr. & Victoria Ave. heading west to the Melrose Area see maps for all locations.
• Schumacher Area: Including Hwy. 101 E, at Rea Hill & Carium Rd. areas see maps for all locations.

Time of Disruption:
• May 26, 2025, to June 30, 2025

Homeowners and businesses may experience short-term loss in water pressure or experience brown or rust-coloured water following the testing. 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 off your tap for 10-20 minutes in order to allow the crew to complete the flushing. Once the flushing is completed and the work crew has left the area, 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 water colour has returned to normal.

Environmental Services Department would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this necessary process, and advises the public to direct any questions, concerns or requests for additional information to Service Timmins at 705-264-1331. After-hours emergencies should be directed to 705-264-1201.
