The City’s annual watermain flushing program will start on February 18 and run through April, about twelve weeks. Flushing is an important part of our ongoing maintenance program to ensure the integrity of the water supply system for residents and businesses.
Flushing will generally take place between the hours of 7.30 am and 3.30 pm, Monday to Friday. Refer to this map to determine when watermain flushing will take place in your area.
During these times, customers can expect some discolouration of water and intermittent drops in water pressure. This is a temporary condition and is not a health concern.
Please follow these guidelines during the water main flushing program:
- Keep a fresh supply of drinking water in your refrigerator.
- Check for discolouration of water before doing laundry.
- If your water is discoloured, run an outside tap (after 3.30 pm) until the water clears.
