Project Description

Phase one of a multi-year project to perform condition assessment on the City's sanitary sewer mains.

During this phase, contracted crews will flush sewer mains and conduct video inspections in approximately one-third of the city.

During flushing, here is what you can expect:

  • Toilets, sinks, and other appliances can still be used
  • Air pressure in the sewer system can create noise in pipes & may cause water to splash out of toilets, sinks, or drains
  • Keep toilet lids closed, and sink drains plugged when not in use to help avoid spills
  • Sewer cleaning can create odours - open windows and run water down drains for a few minutes
  • No chemicals are used, only high-pressure water
