Did You Know?

• The lifespan of your tap water only lasts as long as it takes to flow from your tap to the drain!
• Need your water turned on/off? You can call Public Works and put in a request for your service and we will radio out your request as soon as possible
• Experiencing dirty or turbulent water? This can sometimes be caused by flushing in your area. Watermain flushing/cleaning typically occurs outside the Water Regulations period.  Please see Water Quality & Reports for further information or call Public Works for assistance.     
  • Please take the following steps to correct the problem:
    Milky Water: Open tap slightly to bleed air from the water lines
    Dirty Water:  Turn an outside tap on until the water becomes clear
• Can't locate your shut off valve? Please call Public Works, and we will send water crews out to mark the location of your valve
