Every Spring and Fall, the Town’s Water Division completes watermain flushing, which consists of running water at every hydrant to ensure a clean and fresh water supply for our municipal water customers.
The work began on Monday, September 9 and will continue through the end of October. Water will be run at every hydrant in BWG. Work takes place Mondays to Fridays between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm.
Currently, work is taking place in the Southeast section of Town (which is South of Holland St W and East of Melbourne Dr) and the Northwest section of Town (North of Holland St W and West of Professor Day).
This exercise may cause non-harmful sediment to enter the water system, which presents as yellowish tap water. Should you experience discoloured water, please run your water tap for about 10 minutes until the water runs clear. If the water does not clear, please contact BWG’s Water Division at 905-775-5366 ext. 2300, or by email at waterservices@townofbwg.com.
Running the water to have it clear up is up to each homeowner and credits will not be applied to residential water/wastewater utility bills, as this exercise is considered to be ongoing maintenance. For those who choose to run the water to have it run clear, running your tap over several minutes is not expected to significantly impact your water bill (about $0.25 for an average faucet running for 10 minutes).
For after-hours water emergencies, like watermain breaks, please contact the South Simcoe Police Service’s non-emergency line at 905 775 3311 and the Town’s on-call staff will be dispatched.
