The City of Timmins and Northeastern Public Health have issued a Precautionary Boil Water Advisory for all users west of the Mattagami River Bridge, effective September 25, 2026, at 2:00 a.m.

A Precautionary Boil Water Advisory was declared due to the loss of water pressure in the system resulting from a planned water valve replacement. 

A boil water advisory requires you to take the following steps:

• Bring your water to a rolling boil for at least one minute prior to using it for domestic purposes, including drinking, making infant formula and juices, brushing teeth, washing raw foods and making ice;
• Wash dishes with boiled water that has been cooled or use potable water from an alternative source; and,
• All water taps must be posted, indicating that the water is not safe to drink.

The Precautionary Boil Water Advisory will remain in effect until the City obtains satisfactory drinking water results in two consecutive sets of samples taken a minimum of 24 hours apart.

For more information on Boil Water Advisories, please visit https://www.neph.ca/en/programs/environmental-health/safe-water.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your cooperation.

The City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of Whitney-Tisdale Pump Station #2 Raw Overflow Report.

Address: 57 Evans Street
Start date: September 1, 2026
Start time: 8:36 AM
End date: September 1, 2026
End time: 8:49 AM
Volume by-passed: 65.02 m³

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 by conserving water by delaying or limiting unnecessary usage such as laundry, taking long showers or running the dishwasher during rain storms. You can also help by keeping our pipes clear - no wipes in the pipes!
