City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department, wishes to advise the public of an emergency watermain repair in the following area.
Area
Earl St.
Time of Disruption
Repairs are estimated to start Saturday, May 10, 2025 at 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Times are approximate. Homeowners in the area may experience low water pressure and discoloured water overnight. Water will be turned off once repairs begin.
It is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with discoloured water. While it is not harmful to your health, it can stain laundry. Once repairs are made, 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.
City staff would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this necessary work.

What’s going on in the world today? From politics to the new prime minister, and a near-neighbour with a penchant for hyperbole, the world seems to be spinning faster, but is it out of control? Author, historian, and speaker Gwynne Dyer returns to Timmins with special guest Charlie Angus for a rousing discussion on what’s really going on. June 5, 2025 at the Porcupine Dante Club’s Salute Lounge.
As the former Timmins-James Bay Member of Parliament, Angus is able to connect how a unique northern perspective shapes our world view. Author, journalist, musician, and politician, Angus can now be considered a resistance rouser, as he champions “The Great White North.” Dyer remains fascinated by global politics, and offers a unique take on what’s happening beyond our borders, and how it will ultimately impact the city with a “Heart of Gold.”
It’s a conversation not to be missed, presented by the City’s Cultural Services Dept. Tickets are limited. Reserve yours today. Tickets on sale now at: https://bit.ly/3GPlbD5. Ages 16+.
