Water Treatment
The Midland water system includes numerous wells, one high lift station, two booster pumping stations and four storage reservoir sites. Not all of the wells are currently active. The water system serves a municipal population of approximately 16240.
Two main pressure zones are presently required due to the topography of the community.
All areas of the grid system are linked including the Portage Park water system, which was transferred to the Town of Midland from the Township of Tay in 1998.

Town of Midlland Receives Award
We are proud to announce that the Town of Midland is the recipient of the Ontario Water Works Association's (OWWA) award for Best Tasting Drinking Water. This award was presented at the OWWA/OMWA Joint Annual Conference held in London, Ontario in April 2008. The OWWA is a voluntary membership organization of drinking water professionals dedicated to protecting public health through the delivery of safe, sufficient and sustainable drinking water in Ontario.
ADOPT A FIRE HYDRANT:
Do a good deed for your community - Residents with a fire hydrant located in front of their home are asked to clear snow away from the hydrant. In the event of a fire emergency, this could help save a life by helping the fire department locate the hydrant more quickly.
Fire fighters have to be able to locate the hydrant, remove the caps and attach the fire hose as quickly as possible. These caps are removed using a hydrant wrench; a process that cannot be done quickly when there is a build-up of snow around the hydrant. Your cooperation in maintaining hydrant access is greatly appreciated
Inquiries can be to the Water Department at 526-4268.
