Mattagami Water Pollution Control Plant Digester Cleaning
The City of Timmins would like to inform residents that contractors will be on-site at the Mattagami Water Pollution Control Plant to perform digester cleaning activities beginning on June 11, 2025, and continuing for several weeks.
This work is required to ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of the Mattagami WPCP treatment system. We do not anticipate any impact to the final effluent.
The work will take place Monday through Friday between approximately 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM, with the possibility of weekend work as needed.
During this time, residents may notice:
• Increased vehicle activity near the plant, including contractor equipment and haulage trucks;
• Possible odors associated with the cleaning process; and
• Occasional noise related to equipment operation.
The City appreciates the public’s understanding and cooperation during this period.
We’re reminding residents that only human waste and small amounts of toilet paper should be flushed. Baby wipes, feminine products, dental floss, cotton swabs, cleaning and disinfectant wipes, toilet bowl scrubbers and paper towels might be labeled "flushable," but they are not!
These products do not break down in the sewer system and can cause plugs in sewer pipes and pumps, resulting in sewer backups, overflows, costly cleanups and sewage equipment replacement. While it may seem convenient to dispose of various materials in this manner, it can have severe consequences for our sewage works. Please dispose of non-flushable items in the waste receptacle, ensuring they are properly bagged.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter. By working together to practice responsible waste disposal, we can help maintain the integrity of our sewage system.

The City of Timmins Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of hydrant flushing/watermain cleaning activities in the following areas:
Areas:
• Mountjoy Area: starting on Shirley St. see attached map for affected areas.
• South Porcupine Area: starting on Connaught Hill see attached maps for affected areas.
Time of Disruption:
• June 11, 2025, to July 11, 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.
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.
