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

Areas:
• Timmins North Area: Starting at McLean Dr. & Victoria Ave. heading west to the Melrose Area see maps for all locations.
• Schumacher Area: Including Hwy. 101 E, at Rea Hill & Carium Rd. areas see maps for all locations.

Time of Disruption:
• May 26, 2025, to June 30, 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 flushing. Once the flushing is completed 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.

Environmental Services Department would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this necessary process, and advises the public to direct any questions, concerns or requests for additional information to Service Timmins at 705-264-1331. After-hours emergencies should be directed to 705-264-1201.

Expect lane reductions on Algonquin Blvd. between the Mattagami Bridge and Mountjoy St. Work has begun to place sod and repair curbs and sidewalks along this stretch of the Connecting Link. There should be minimal disruptions. Be prepared for minor delays.

We appreciate your patience as work is completed.

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.
