Internal Property Assessments and Smoke Testing – Port Dover September 30-October 18

Norfolk County has retained Civica Infrastructure Inc. (Civica) to complete the County Wide Inflow and Infiltration Program. The study’s objectives are to identify sources of stormwater or groundwater entering the sanitary sewer system.

Inflow and infiltration occur when water enters the sanitary sewers through pipe network cracks or other undesired connections such as catch basins or roof downspouts. Rainwater and groundwater can fill the pipes and reduce the capacity of the sanitary pipe network and the wastewater treatment plant.

Fall Water Main Flushing 2024

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. 

Updated schedule as of October 4, 2024: 

  • Delhi: extended to October 15 
  • Port Dover: October 7 to October 25 
  • Port Rowan: complete 
  • Simcoe: October 21 to November 29 
  • Waterford: complete
