The City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of watermain repairs affecting the following areas:

• South Porcupine
• Porcupine

Date of Disruption:
• October 23, 2026

Homeowners and businesses within the notification area may experience:
• Low or fluctuating water pressure
• Discoloured water (yellow, brown, or reddish)

Repairs are currently underway. We are anticipating that discoloured water and/or low water pressure may occur periodically as crews continue repairs.

Residents in Porcupine east of the Porcupine River Bridge may experience lower than normal water pressure until approximately Tuesday, October 27, 2026 due to a supply line disruption near the Porcupine River Bridge.

If you experience discoloured water, be mindful of the following:
• Do not drink or use discoloured water (while it is not harmful to your health, it can stain laundry).
• Run a cold-water tap – preferably an outside tap or cold basement tap – for 5 to 15 minutes until the water runs clear.
• Avoid using hot water and doing laundry until the water is clear.

Environmental Service Department would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this necessary work.
