The City of Timmins has requested an extension from the Ministry of the Environment regarding the Whitney-Tisdale Pumping Station No. 4 and will continue to work with the Ministry until project completion. The original date was set for January 28, 2022, but ongoing supply chain issues and labour shortages have plagued the project. Timmins has also experienced extreme cold weather warnings through much of December and January, which has made completing work difficult.
Last October, the project was nearing completion. At that time, an extension was granted following leaking of the equalization tanks and flooding of the pump equipment, which occurred during mandatory facility testing. Since that time, the City’s contractors have been working to complete the project while mitigating issues arising from the on-going pandemic. Supply chains are affected across the country and access to product and a delay in delivery times has continued to be unavoidable. In addition, labour shortages have become the norm with a highly contagious variant that has reduced staff numbers.
The City and its contractors remain steadfast in our commitment to completing the project despite ongoing challenges related to the pandemic and weather. For more information on the Whitney and Tisdale Waste Water Treatment Plant, visit CLICK HERE..
