Timmins, ON – City of Timmins Public Works is declaring changes to the street sweeping schedule for the week of May 11, 2026.

The City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department, wishes to advise the public of scheduled water control testing for Connecting Link Segment 13 construction within the following area:

South Porcupine Area:
• Highway 101 E. between Bristol Rd. and Ruth St.

Date and Time of Disruption:
• May 7, 2026, from 9:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.

Once shutdown, and if testing is successful, the water will only be “OFF” for 10 to 15 minutes.  Once control is confirmed, water will be restored to normal.

This work is being done to prepare for construction on Segment 13 of the Connecting Link. Environmental Services is testing the water valves to ensure they can get proper control for upcoming work. An update will be provided once a construction start time has been confirmed.

During the date and time of the disruption, homeowners and businesses may experience short-term loss in water and pressure, or experience brown or rust-coloured water. 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 crews 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 work.

Evelyn Township Landfill – Temporary Closure

The City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of Whitney-Tisdale Water Pollution Control Plant Secondary Bypass

Address: 815 Gervais Street
Start date: April 28, 2026
Start time: 8:01 AM
End date: May 1, 2026
End time: 12:55 PM
Volume by-passed: 9,721 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!
