Unidirectional flushing in Midland

The Town flushes water mains each year to ensure the water coming out of your tap is safe to drink. Water is drained from fire-hydrants at high speeds out onto the street and into a storm drain. This high-speed water lifts and flushes sediment and mineral deposits from the pipes.

When crews are in your neighbourhood you may experience a drop in pressure or water discoloration. Find out when flushing may take place in your area on the Unidirectional Flushing page.

This routine maintenance is expected to impact your water service for just one day each year. We appreciate your understanding as we remain dedicated to delivering you highest quality water service.
