Norfolk staff will soon be providing routine fall maintenance to the water mains throughout the County.
During a flush, hydrants are opened and allowed to flow in a controlled manner in one direction. This increased flow scours pipe walls, cleaning the sediment from inside the water mains.
The fall schedule is as follows:
- Port Dover – September 18 – October 30
- Port Rowan – September 18 – September 22
- Delhi/Courtland – September 25 – October 16
- Waterford – October 16 – October 30
- Simcoe – October 23 – December 4
Discoloured water is a normal side effect of cleaning water mains. If you notice discoloured water, simply run your faucet until it clears.
