The City of Timmins, Environmental Services & Public Utilities Department wishes to advise the public of a scheduled water infrastructure maintenance activities affecting water quality in the following Downtown areas.

Areas:
• On Pine St. between Fifth Ave. to Second Ave.
• On Third Ave. between Spruce St. S. to Balsam St. S

Date and Time of Disruption:
• Starts August 31, 2023, from 12:00am to 7am

All homes and businesses in the affected area could be without water for a few hours as well colored water and lower than normal water pressure.

Homeowners in that area may experience brown or rust-colored water during the schedule water maintenance. It is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with the discolored 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 water color has returned to normal.

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