Watermain Flushing

On behalf of the Township of Adjala-Tosorontio, the Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) will be conducting water distribution system maintenance. 

Municipal water users are advised that the flushing or swabbing of drinking watermains will take place at the following locations and time periods:

AreaService DescriptionService Time Period
Everett/Colgan  Watermain Flushing  April 14th-17th

Hours of Flushing work will be Tuesday to Friday from 9 am to 4pm.

Please be aware that during watermain flushing, residents may experience low to no water pressure and water discoloration (brown / red) water, or perhaps even no water for short periods of time.

To alleviate the discolored water, please isolate hot water tanks and bypass water softeners during the work periods, and once work is complete, open the taps in your home until the water runs clear. Before doing laundry, it is recommended that the taps are opened and water is flushed to clear beforehand.

Please be aware that low pressure alarms on fire systems may be affected and may call out to the fire department. 

If you have any questions, please contact the Ontario Clean Water Agency at 1-888-355-1222.
