Annual Water Main Flushing Advisory - Thornhill Community Water System
Published on Apr 5, 2021 09:10

ANNUAL WATER MAIN FLUSHING ADVISORY

Thornhill water customers are advised that annual water main flushing procedures will be carried out as follows:

 To aid in the flushing process crews will be adding a small dose of chlorine to the system reservoir. This will be followed with a systematic flush of the distribution system to ensure thorough disinfection. There may be residual chlorine for the duration of flushing.

This procedure is necessary to remove any sediment that may be present in the water mains and to ensure the best possible water quality is maintained. During this procedure, water pressures may fluctuate, and water may appear coloured or cloudy. You are advised to run your water until it clears. Your ongoing co-operation and understanding is appreciated.

Please contact our office Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., if you have any questions or concerns.
