Watermain Flushing and Valve Turning Program

PUBLIC NOTICE - From Operations and Facilities

Starting the week of May 6th, ongoing through May and June, the Town of Fort Frances will commence the Watermain Flushing and Valve Turning Program. The area being flushed is indicated on the map within the orange border.

During the flushing process, sediment in the water mains can be initially stirred up causing discoloured water, however the water remains safe.

If a resident experiences discoloured water, they can open their cold water taps to flush until the water remains clear.

Discoloured water may not be aesthetically pleasing, but it is safe to drink. However, we do not recommend using discoloured water to do laundry to avoid staining.
