Watermain Swabbing
Newmarket's annual watermain swabbing program has begun and is expected to last
until August 16 in Ward 2, 3 and 5. The works are set to take place from
10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Affected residents will be notified 48 hours in advance with door hangers with the date and time of water disruptions. Businesses will be notified at least 72 hours in advance through a hand-delivered letter.
Before the scheduled watermain cleaning operation, it is recommended that residents:
- Turn off their water valve, located next to the water meter to prevent water use.
- Fill a large, clean container with tap water for drinking and cooking (store in fridge)
- Complete all dishwashing, clothes washing, and other water-use activities.
- Fill their bathtub with water for use around the house (residents may want to use a pail to transfer water from the bathtub to flush their toilet).
During the scheduled watermain cleaning operation, residents should avoid using water for any purpose. The watermain cleaning operation is expected to take approximately 8 to 10 hours to complete which includes set-up and removal of equipment. Works are scheduled to take place overnight in an effort to reduce disruption to residents and businesses.
The watermain swabbing program makes sure that safe, high-quality drinking water is available in Newmarket. This maintenance will help reduce the effects of water degradation and is one of the most effective water distribution system maintenance procedures. This procedure will also help maintain the watermains to make sure the infrastructure will perform in times of emergency.
