The Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) will start its annual spring watermain flushing in the Municipality of Bluewater in March and continue through May. This routine maintenance helps keep the water system clean and running efficiently.
The flushing schedule is as follows:
Varna Distribution System – Every other month, starting March 20
Hensall-Zurich Distribution System (Zurich) – April 7 to April 11
Bluewater Distribution System (Lakeshore) – April 14 to May 2
Bluewater Distribution System (Bayfield) – April 21 to May 9
Residents may notice discoloured water during the flushing period. If this happens, running cold water from the tap until it clears is recommended. Removing tap aerators and flushing hot water tanks can also help prevent buildup. Water pressure may fluctuate temporarily due to the work.
For more information, contact Dave Kester, Manager of Public Works, at the municipal office or reach OCWA at 1-888-421-5055.
