Watermain Flushing Bayshore Village Drinking Water System

Routine watermain flushing of the Bayshore Village water distribution system will begin October 29^th to October 31^st, 2024.  Operators from Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) will be flushing between the hours of 7:30am and 3:30pm.

Visit the Water Page for steps to take during and after flushing. 

This process is necessary maintenance of the watermains.  Potable water is flushed at a high velocity through the water mains to ensure that all piping is refreshed and minor sediment within the pipe is removed.  Hydrants are used as flush-out points.

While the flushing is underway, short periods of low pressure and discoloured water may be expected. Any discolouration is temporary and not a health hazard. Residents are asked to minimize water consumption and avoid doing laundry if a change in water appearance is noticed. To clear water lines, residents are advised to turn on a cold water tap in a bathtub or laundry tub until the water runs clear.

If water discolouration persists, residents should contact OCWA at 705-484-5600.
