The City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of a Sanitary Sewer Overflow at station 4.

Address: 5121 Highway 101 East
Start date: April 29, 2025
Start time: 1:18 pm
End date: April 30, 2025
End time: 11:54 am
Volume by-passed: 3,624.08m³

Municipal wastewater consists of 99% water from stormwater and homes/businesses from washing, flushing etc. When a treatment plant or treatment process is overwhelmed, a bypass or overflow can occur. These events are often caused by heavy rainfall and/or snowmelt. During a by-pass or overflow, partially treated wastewater is diverted away from a treatment process to prevent backups, overflows or damage to the system.

Residents can help mitigate flows by delaying or limiting unnecessary usage such as laundry, shower length, dishwashing etc. during rain storms.

For more information please visit www.timmins.ca

City staff would like to thank residents for their assistance in reducing water usage during this time.
