Hydrant flushing in the Village of Winchester - Oct.3rd to Oct.28th

The Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) will be commencing hydrant flushing in the Villages of Winchester between Monday, October 3rd and Friday, October 28th. Hydrant flushing in the Village of Chesterville will occur later in 2022 when the water tower is back online. 

Residents may notice a discolouration of the water at their homes during this period and for a short time thereafter. If you notice a discolouration of your tap water, please run the water cold until it is clear. This discolouration is not hazardous to your health. It is typical of a normal operating water distribution system.
