Hydrant flushing in the Villages of Chesterville and Winchester from May 1st-26th

April 27, 2023

The Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) will be commencing hydrant flushing in the Villages of Chesterville and Winchester between Monday, May 1st and Friday, May 26th.

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 until it is clear. This discolouration is not hazardous to your health. It is typical of a normal operating water distribution system.

Anyone with questions or concerns is encouraged to contact the Township at 613-774-2105 or OCWA at 613-448-3098.
