Residents immediately affected each night are advised to close the main water valve in their homes and DO NOT attempt to use any water during swabbing hours. This is important to avoid drawing a piece of foam swab into your service and plugging it.
We ask that when you re-open the main water valve in your home following swabbing, that you turn on a cold water tap without a screen (laundry tub if possible) and let it run to flush any residue that may be left in your water service.
Residents not in the swabbing area could experience dirty water. If you experience dirty water, let your cold water run and it should clear up. If dirty water persists, please call 705-377-5726 between 8:30 A.M. and 4:00 P.M.Should you have any questions or experience low water pressure following swabbing, please call the Municipal office between the hours of 8:30am to 4:00pm at 705-377-5726
