From April 27 to May 29 2020, the Department of Environmental Service will proceed to its unidirectional flushing operation of the water supply network. This operation will be performed from Monday through Friday, between 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. during this period.

The unidirectional flushing is intended to dislodge deposits in the water mains and preserve high water quality. To do this, the water must be forced in one direction and subsequently be evacuated through fire hydrants.

During this operation, a temporary drop of pressure and/or a reddish colouring of the water may occur. Before any use of water, we recommend that you verify if the water is coloured. If the water is coloured, leave the cold water taps running until the water returns to its usual colour. Additionally, we recommend that you to do your laundry in the evening or the weekend during this period. Note that this discolouration will have no harmful effect on your health.

We thank you for your cooperation and for more information, please do not hesitate to contact us at 613-632-0106, extension 2020.

In 2007, April 2nd was designated as World Autism Awareness Day by the United Nations General Assembly. Since its inception, autism awareness and acceptance have increased and a better understanding of neurodiversity has arisen but there is still more work to do! 

We invite you, your school, workplace or sports team to host a fundraising event anytime in April to celebrate World Autism Awareness and Acceptance!  Fundraising events allow you to join our team to ensure families with loved ones on the autism spectrum get the information and support they need! 

We hope that you will join us to help spread our message from coast to coast.  Don’t forget to tag @AutismCanada in your photos to be featured on our pages. Join the fun by hosting a FUNdraisertoday!
