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

Schumacher Area:
• Brundy Ave including Claimpost Tr., Miners Ave., Ennis St., Prospectors St and Delost Ave

Date of Disruption:
• May 20, 2026, from 8:00AM – 4:00PM

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. 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 finish the activity. 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.
