City-wide pressure and hydrant flow testing is starting Wednesday, May 29, 2024. This is part of the City’s Infrastructure Needs Study.

On the dates listed below, homeowners and businesses in the included areas 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.

If you experience discoloured water, it is advised to turn off your tap for 10-20 minutes in order to allow the crew to complete the test. Once the test is complete 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.

The testing period is scheduled between May 29 to June 4, 2024.
