Chapleau Set to Flush Water Mains

Chapleau will flush its water mains next week.

A notice on the Township's website notes it is flushing hydrants in different zones starting Monday, September 11th, through Thursday, September 14th, from midnight to 8 am each day, with people in those zones asked not to use their water during the flushing, including turning off bleeder lines.

As colouration will be a problem, the Township suggests flushing your own lines through a garden hose or laundry tub before you use any water after the flushing.

The flushing's meant to help clean the mains and ensure efficient operation of fire hydrants.
