Hydrant Flushing will continue tomorrow (Thursday, May 7)

Residents and water utility customers are advised that the Town’s Public Works department will be flushing water mains and hydrants tomorrow (May 7) day starting at 8:00 a.m. in the following areas:

-High Street from Wellington to Patterson Street
-Faulkland Street from Wellington to Patterson Street
-Louise Street from Wellington to Patterson Street
-Patterson Street from High Street to Westwood Drive

During this time, residents and businesses should expect possible discolored water and reduced water pressure.

As a precaution, users are encouraged to store an adequate supply of water in advance and take steps to protect their hot water tanks by turning off the intake valve and shutting off power to the heater for the duration of the flushing. It is also recommended that customers flush their own systems during the same period.

The Town apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
