Notice - Sewer Flushing
Please be aware the Town is currently conducting sewer flushing. This takes place every year and will take approximately 1-2 weeks to complete.
During this process, it is possible for air pressure to be created inside the sewer pipe. Most of the time, the pressurized air escapes with no issue.
If there is a defect in your home’s plumbing (like a blocked sewer pipe or vent) or the venting is too small or non-existent, the air pressure can escape through a toilet, floor drain or the nearest exit it can find. This can result in the release of unpleasant odours and, in rare occasions, water splashing from the toilet into your home.
Should this occur, check your plumbing to ensure that your service connection and vent pipes are clear of debris and are functioning properly.
Flush toilets and run water in any sinks, as well as refill traps in any floor drains affected. This is completed by introducing water into them.
For questions or concerns please contact the Town office at 705-746-2101 extension 213 or 236.
