Preventative Boil Water Advisory – South Porcupine & Porcupine 

The City of Timmins Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public that loss of water pressure and/or no water pressure has occurred in the following areas:

All residents, businesses, and consumers in South Porcupine and Porcupine
Date of Advisory: August 12, 2025

Following the restoration of water, the City of Timmins is issuing a Precautionary Boil Water Advisory. The City of Timmins is requiring you to take the following steps:

· Users of the water supply should bring their water to a rolling boil for one minute prior to consumption;
· 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 Boil Water Advisory will remain in effect until the sample results confirm the water is fit for human consumption (minimum of 48 hours following the completion of the repair).

City staff would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this necessary process, and advise that if there are any questions, concerns or requests for additional information, they may contact the Service Timmins at 705-264-1331 during business hours. After-hours emergencies should be directed to 705-264-1201.

City staff would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this work.
