Evelyn Township Landfill – Temporary Closure

Please be advised that the Environmental Services Department is informing residents that the Evelyn Township Landfill will remain closed due to excessive snow accumulation, which has made access to the site unsafe and impractical.

The site was reassessed on Monday, May 4, 2026, and will remain closed until May 11, 2026, at which time it will be reassessed again. We understand this may cause inconvenience and updates will be provided as soon as access is possible, and it is safe to reopen.

Environmental Service Department would like to thank residents for their patience and understanding while we continue to monitor the conditions.

The City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of Whitney-Tisdale Water Pollution Control Plant Secondary Bypass

Address: 815 Gervais Street
Start date: April 28, 2026
Start time: 8:01 AM
End date: May 1, 2026
End time: 12:55 PM
Volume by-passed: 9,721 m³

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 by conserving water by delaying or limiting unnecessary usage such as laundry, taking long showers or running the dishwasher during rain storms. You can also help by keeping our pipes clear - no wipes in the pipes!

To learn more about how the system works and what actions you can take please visit: https://www.timmins.ca/cms/one.aspx?portalId=11976429&pageId=20229538

City staff would like to thank residents for their assistance in reducing water usage during this time.
