Notice: Watermain Flushing and Hydrant Testing 2024

The Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) will be flushing watermains and testing fire hydrants between Monday May 13th and Friday May 17th. Flushing will take place between the hours of 8am and 3pm.

This preventive maintenance practice ensures the proper operation of fire hydrants and flushes accumulated sediment from the distribution system. While flushing is underway, short periods of low pressure and discoloured water can be expected. Any discolouration is temporary and is not a health hazard. To restore clarity, remove the aerator and turn on a cold water tap until the water runs clear. Residents are asked to minimize water consumption and avoid doing laundry when flushing activity is observed in your vicinity.

If you have any questions regarding the flushing program, please contact the Water & Sewer Department at 613-396-3436.

Please read the full notice here for more information.

EP Week 2024 – Public Education

Emergency Preparedness Week (EP Week) 2024, scheduled for May 5-11, is a pivotal time for individuals and communities to enhance their preparedness for various emergencies.

This year the theme in Ontario is, "Plan for every season” which underscores the importance of understanding local hazards and taking proactive steps to mitigate potential impacts throughout the year. Community members and their families are encouraged to develop an emergency plan, assemble a 72 hour emergency kit, and stay informed about the most effective responses to potential crises throughout the year. Our website has many links to information and resources that will help in the planning and preparedness process. Being prepared for an emergency is not just the responsibility of the municipality but a collective one, involving individuals, families, and communities.

Follow us on our Facebook page where throughout the week we will be sharing information regarding specific emergencies that can impact you and your families.
