Important clarification regarding the recent announcement about compliance issues at the Mattagami Water Pollution Control Plant, made more than two years ago between 2018-2023.

Here’s what you need to know:

• The Mattagami Water Pollution Control Plant treats wastewater (i.e. sewage). It does NOT supply drinking water.
• The intake for the city’s drinking water is located upstream from the wastewater facility.
• Wastewater is not drinking water.
• At NO time was the city’s drinking water impacted by these concerns
• Over the last 4 years, the city’s average drinking water inspection rating was 95%.

The City took immediate corrective action, and all wastewater concerns associated with the Mattagami Water Pollution Control Plant were promptly resolved in 2023.

Both the drinking water system and the wastewater collection annual reports are made public for transparency: https://www.timmins.ca/our_services/water_and_sewer/water_compliance_reports

The City of Timmins Environmental Services department wishes to advise the Public of hydrant flushing/watermain cleaning activities in the following areas.

Affected Areas:
South Porcupine & Porcupine Area starting on September 4, 2025 from Porcupine Bridge heading east to Falcon Rd. Please refer to map for flushing areas

Time of Disruption:
September 4, 2025 to October 3, 2025

Homeowners and businesses may experience short-term loss in water pressure or experience brown or rust-coloured water following the testing. 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 complete the test. Once the test is complete and the work crew has left the area, 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 process, and advise that if there are any questions, concerns or requests for additional information, they may contact the Service Timmins at 705-264-1331. After-hours emergencies should be directed to 705-264-1201.
