Staff from the Environmental Services team will be flushing fire hydrants as part of their annual maintenance program within Urban Meaford.
Overview
Start date: May 20, 2026
Hours of work: 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday to Thursday
Estimated completion: July 1, 2026
During flushing activities, residents may notice:
-
Temporary discoloration or cloudiness in tap water
-
Short-term reductions in water pressure
-
Water flushed onto the roadway that may leave puddles after flushing is completed
If cloudy or coloured water is experienced, residents are advised to run the cold water tap in the bathtub until the water clears. This tap is recommended as it does not have a screen that could collect debris from the system.
Please drive with caution in areas where hydrant flushing is occurring and follow any posted signage.
