Norfolk staff will soon be providing routine spring maintenance to the watermains 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 watermains.
The spring schedule is as follows:
- Waterford – April 3 to April 21
- Port Dover – April 3 to May 12
- Delhi/Courtland – April 17 to May 5
- Simcoe – April 17 to May 26
- Port Rowan – May 1 to May 5
Discoloured water is a normal side effect of cleaning watermains. If you notice discoloured water, simply run your faucet until clear.
