Notice of Construction: Watermain Swabbing Notice

On behalf of the Town of Wasaga Beach, the Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) will be conducting water
distribution system maintenance.

Municipal water users are advised that the flushing or swabbing of drinking watermains will take place during
the evening at the following locations and time periods:

Swabbing will begin each night on November 16-19, 2026, from 9:30 PM to 6:00 AM.

Please be aware that during watermain flushing and swabbing, residents may experience reduced to
no water pressure and discoloration (brown / red) water, or perhaps even no water for short periods of
time. Please refrain from using water during the above noted times. Unfortunately, specific days of
when flushing/swabbing of your area will occur can't be provided due to the potential of unforeseen
issues and possible delays which may alter when an area is completed.

To alleviate the discolored water, please isolate (shut off) the household's main water supply internally before
the meter if possible. Once work is complete (AFTER 6:00 am each morning), bypass water softeners and
filtration systems if possible and open a cold water tap in your home (preferable one without a screen such as a bathtub faucet) until the water runs clear. Before doing laundry, it is recommended that the taps are opened and water is flushed to clear beforehand.

If you have any questions, please contact the Town of Wasaga Beach during regular business hours at
