Notice: Water Main Flushing in Shallow Lake August to September

By Township of Georgian Bluffs - Aug 21, 2026

Location: Shallow Lake Water Distribution in Township of Georgian Bluffs
Dates: Monday, August 24 to Friday, September 18, 2026

As part of our commitment to maintaining a safe and reliable water supply, the Ontario Clean Water Agency will be conducting annual fire hydrant flushing and testing from August 24 to September 18, 2026, in the Shallow Lake area.

This work is part of the best practices of a comprehensive water management program. During normal use, water moves slowly through the distribution system, which can lead to the accumulation of naturally occurring sediment in the pipes. Flushing hydrants increases water velocity through the mains, helping to remove sediment and maintain consistent water quality.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we carry out this important maintenance work.

Please Note:

You may experience lower than normal water pressure and temporary water discoloration during this period.
If discoloration occurs:

Run cold water in all faucets for 4–5 minutes or until the water runs clear.
Do NOT use hot water until cold water runs clear.
Avoid doing laundry until water clarity is restored to prevent staining.
