2022 Water Main Flushing, New Hamburg and Baden

Township of Wilmot will be commencing its annual Watermain Flushing Program on the water distribution system beginning Monday, May 9, 2022 and will complete on Friday, May 20, 2022. The work will occur weekdays between 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Your water will not be shut off. Residents may experience a temporary discoloration of water while the watermains are being flushed. Any disruption should be short-lived. If you experience discolored water allow your cold water tap to run until clear.

Any question or concerns may be directed to the Utilities office at 519-634-8444, ext. 9403, or email the Public Works Department. 

Important steps to re-opening your business' water supply (COVID-19 Recovery)

The longer a building is unoccupied or using minimal water use, the higher the risk for water quality issues.  When the water is not used, the cleaning component in the water dissipates and may result in growth of micro-organisms in pipes and fixtures.

To mitigate these water quality concerns – you should flush your building’s pipes, fixtures and taps. Run the cold water and then the hot water for 20 minutes each. You should be able to feel a consistent temperature afterward.

While municipal utilities are responsible for getting clean, safe drinking water to each property, it is the responsibility of each property owner to ensure it maintains the safety of that water within their building.
