Hydrant Flushing Begins May 17, 2023
More
Starting May 17, 2023, Public Utilities operators will begin flushing hydrants across the Township. The Public Utilities Department open up fire hydrants of the water distribution system to make sure the system is working optimally.
During hydrant testing:
- You may see coloured water and loss in water pressure during the flushing of a hydrant in your area. We recommend that you do not drink or wash laundry with coloured water. While it is not harmful to your health, it may stain your laundry.
- If you see coloured water, turn on a cold water tap for a few minutes. The colour in the water will eventually run clear.
- Reduced water pressure should only be temporary while the hydrants are being flushed. The pressure will return to normal once the flushing is complete.
If you have any questions or have issues, please contact our Infrastructure Department.
