Location:                   Wiarton and Oxenden Drinking Water Distribution Systems

Date and Time :      Weekdays during the month of November 2023 from 8 :00 AM to 5:00 PM

Regular flushing is part of the best practices of a comprehensive water management program.  During normal use, water moves slowly through the water distribution system and may cause naturally occurring sediment to accumulate in the pipes. Flushing from fire hydrants or blow off valves increases water velocity through water mains and helps with the removal of accumulated sediments to improve water quality.
