Notice of Watermain Flushing

Tay Township’s watermain flushing program is required annually as part of our maintenance program and fire hydrant flow testing requirement.

Flushing Schedule: Monday to Friday only between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Victoria Harbour – November 4 to November 15 (approximately)

Waubaushene and Rope – November 18 to November 22 (approximately)

Port McNicoll and area – November 25 to December 6 (approximately)

As a result of this work, you may experience a change in pressure and/or some discolouration or sediment in the water.

Water use during the scheduled flushing periods should be kept to a minimum. Please avoid doing laundry when flushing is being conducted.

If you continue to experience discoloured water after 4:30 p.m. on these dates, allow your cold water to run in the tub for a few minutes. 

This work will be completed in an expedient manner and regular service will be restored as soon as possible.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call the Water/Wastewater Division at 705-534-7248 extension 255.

Thank you for your cooperation.
