**CITY OF TIMMINS NEWS RELEASE**

The City of Timmins Environmental Services department wishes to advise the Public of a multiple watermain breaks effecting the water supply to all residents between Father Costello Dr to Ray Hill. This includes addresses on Hwy 101 East from 1880 to 1999 Hwy 101 East, Carium Rd, Goldale St and Sylvia Cr.

  • Area: Schumacher East of Father Costello Dr.
  • Time of Disruption: October 7, 8, 9 2020

Homeowners and businesses will experience intermittent loss of water supply and or experience brown or rust-coloured water. It is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with the discoloured water. While it is not harmful to your health, it can stain laundry. Should this occur, it is advised to turn off your tap for 10-20 minutes in order to allow the crew to complete the work. Once the repairs are complete and the work crew has left the area, turn on the COLD water tap closest to the source (usually your laundry tub tap) and let it run for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the water colour has returned to normal.

City staff would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this necessary process, and advise that if there are any questions, concerns or requests for additional information, they may contact the Service Timmins at 705-264-1331. After-hours emergencies should be directed to 705-264-1201.
