Water Notice

Information for Water and Wastewater Users

All flushing takes place between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on the scheduled day.

Notes to Schedule:

  • Watermains are flushed on a regular basis to clean the mains and ensure a fresh supply of water. Additional, unscheduled watermain flushing may be required occasionally.
  • Some red discolouration of your water may become apparent immediately after the watermains in your area are flushed. This is iron, which is picked up naturally by the water in the aquifer underground, which settles out of the water in the watermains. Let your water run from your taps for a few minutes until the water clears ups.
  • We have set the schedule to minimize any inconvenience to you. If you have any questions or concerns about our watermain flushing program, do not hesitate to give OCWA a call at 1-866-775-7712 or (705) 429-2525, option 3.
  • On the day that flushing occurs in your area, it is recommended to avoid using or minimize water usage. If you must use your water during flushing activities, you may encounter low water pressure, water discolouration or sediment that could cause staining or sediment in your laundry, appliances (i.e. dishwasher or ice machines), bathtubs or hot water tanks.
