• Incinerator burning
• Brush and slash pile burning
Propane-fueled fire pits and propane or natural gas barbecues are permitted and may continue to be used with caution.

The City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of scheduled Water infrastructure maintenance activity within the following area:
South Porcupine:
• Young between Rekela and Florence will experience no water, loss of pressure and may have some discolored water.
Date and Time of Disruption:

Homeowners and businesses within the notification area may experience short-term loss in water pressure or experience brown or rust-coloured water during the disruption.

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 emergency work.
