Annual water main flushing begins in Norfolk County
Norfolk County's annual water main flushing program begins today and will continue through November in water systems across the County.
Water main flushing is a routine maintenance activity that helps maintain water quality. During the process, hydrants are opened in a controlled manner to increase water flow and help clear the system.
While flushing is underway, residents may experience temporary changes in water pressure or notice discoloured water. If discoloured water occurs, residents are encouraged to run a cold water tap until the water clears.
Anticipated water main flushing schedule
- Simcoe: August 31 to September 25
- Waterford: September 28 to October 9
- Delhi/Courtland: October 12 to October 23
- Rowan/St. Williams: October 19 to October 23
- Port Dover: October 26 to November 13
Work is weather-dependent, and schedules may change as operational needs require.
