Planned maintenance will take place at the Mattagami Water Pollution Control Plant to facilitate draining, cleaning, and refilling of the chlorine contact tank. This work is required to remove the solids on the bottom of the tank and to remove the growth of algae and moss on the tank walls. While this will temporarily reduce the chlorine contact time, chlorine will continue to be added to the final effluent, and we do not expect significant impacts on the final disinfection process. The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks have been notified, and samples will be collected.

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 by conserving water by delaying or limiting unnecessary usage such as laundry, taking long showers or running the dishwasher during rain storms. You can also help by keeping our pipes clear - no wipes in the pipes!

The City of Timmins, Public Works Dept., wishes to advise the public of scheduled road infrastructure enhancements happening on Ross Ave. at the intersection of Toke St. Work has begun to extend the curbs and install a raised median as part of improvements to the community safety zone area on Ross Ave.
A curb extension narrows the road section, helping to regulate and reduce traffic speeds. There is no impact to the existing pedestrian crossing. The addition of the curb extensions and raised median creates a safe space for pedestrians and improves visibility. As a result, reduction of the four lanes east of the Toke intersection will start further back on Ross Ave.
Work will require temporary lane reductions. Once complete, a dedicated left-turn lane for westbound traffic will be available for Toke St.
Bylaw 2025-9107 was approved on April 8, 2025 to create a Community Safety Zone on Ross Ave. from Patricia Blvd. to Hwy. 655. A Community Safety Zone is a designated section of roadway where public safety is a top priority.
