VIA TOWNSHIP OF CENTRE WELLINGTON
Beginning today, critical infrastructure work will be taking place at the Scotland Water Tower. The tower will be taken out of service for interior restoration lasting approximately 6 weeks. During this time, you may experience water pressure fluctuations due to the fact that the water tower will be out of service. Water discolouration may be experienced because water in the pipes will be delivered differently than if being fed from the tower.
Over time, naturally occurring minerals found in our groundwater can build up as sediment within pipes. The discolouration is caused from iron and manganese that are naturally occurring in the groundwater. When the water moves in a different direction than usual, minerals that have settled in the distribution system can be stirred up.
If discoloured water is experienced, residents are urged to turn on a cold water tap nearest to your water meter and allow the water to flush slowly for several minutes until it runs clear. If after 48 hours, your water still appears discoloured, please contact Centre Wellington Infrastructure Services at (519) 846-9691 ext. 905.
