The City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of hydrant flushing activities in the following areas:
Timmins South:
• All areas South of Algonquin Blvd. E Starting at the bridge heading East to Brunette Road.
*See maps for locations
Schumacher:
• All areas of Schumacher including Gold Mine Road, Carium Road and Gold Center Starting from Father Costello Road heading East.
*See maps for locations
Date & Time of Disruption:
• June 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026, running between 8:00AM to 6:00PM
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.
