November 28, 2024 - Hydrant Flushing - North Street

Hydrant flushing will occur tomorrow on North Street between the hours of  7am and 4pm. Customers may experience a slight discolouration of water/loss of pressure while we flush in the distribution system, but note that the colour does not compromise the safety of the water as it’s only a buildup of sediment from the pipes. Running the cold tap for a few minutes should clear any colour right up.
