The City of Timmins would like to advise the public that our CCTV and Sewer Line Cleaning project will begin Monday, June 05 until August 4, 2023.

The Engineering Department is advising the residents that we will have crews investigating various sewer main systems within the City of Timmins, camera trucks and vacuum trucks will be onsite. Residents should be aware they may hear gurgling sounds coming from their toilet or sinks.

The purpose of the project is to inspect our existing water infrastructure to proactively schedule maintenance or plan rehabilitation. There are two steps in the process: the sewers are cleaned by flushing and inspected using a process called closed-circuit television inspection (CCTV). A robotic camera is inserted into the pipe at one end and drives the length of the sewer, recording any connections or defects.

The following areas will be affected:
• North of Timmins
• South of Timmins
• South Porcupine
• Porcupine

Traffic controls will be in place and drivers are asked to slow down when proceeding through the work zone.

If you have any questions, Service Timmins is available by phone at 705-264-1331 or in-person during regular business hours at City Hall.

We thank you for your patience and cooperation while we complete this necessary work.
