Emergency Watermain Break– Environmental Services – October 1, 2025

The City of Timmins Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of emergency watermain break within the following area:

Mountjoy Area:
• Camille St between Shirley St. and Gatineau Blvd.

Date & Time of Disruption:
• October 1, 2025 – 8:00AM to 5:00PM

Homeowners and businesses within the notification area may experience short-term loss in water pressure or experience brown or rust-coloured water during the disruption. 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. Should this occur, it is advised to turn off your tap for 10-20 minutes in order to allow the crew to finish. Once the work is completed, 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 Service Department would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this emergency work.

City Launches Annual Municipal Budget Survey

The City has launched our 2026 municipal budget survey, an opportunity for residents to share feedback on how property tax revenue is collected, invested, and spent.

Property taxes, when combined with program and user fees, facility rentals, and additional funding sources, make up the available money (revenue) collected by the City. This revenue funds the services, infrastructure, and projects that residents rely on daily. All of this is summarized in the municipal budget – an itemized plan for the revenue coming in and the expenditures going out.

The budget process begins each June with department reviews and budget preparation. It’s a months-long process that ends with City Council’s approval of the taxation fund and the setting of next year’s municipal tax rates. Part of this process includes asking residents to provide input on items such as City services, value for tax dollar, and investments in capital projects. Public engagement on budget and municipal spending, helps ensure transparency and informed decision-making.

The online survey is available now until October 30, 2025, in both French and English. It takes only 4-5 minutes to complete and is fully anonymous.
