The City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of the potential for temporary water discolouration as planned maintenance is carried out at the Timmins Water Filtration Plant.

ALL users of the City's water distribution system may be impacted.  Homeowners and businesses may experience temporary rust-coloured water during maintenance.

It is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with discoloured water. While it is not harmful to your health, it can stain laundry. Should this occur, 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 work.
