Fire hydrant flushing in Cardinal and New Wexford

We will be flushing hydrants and operating isolation valves in Cardinal and New Wexford from April 6, 2021 to June 1, 2021. Water customers may notice fluctuations in pressure and some discoloration. This is a normal result of the flushing process. We recommend checking your water for discoloration prior to use each day as this could cause damage to laundry, etc. Please contact Environmental Services if you have questions or need assistance at 613-657-3765. 

Half Load Restrictions

Take notice that reduced load restrictions will be in force on designated Township roads effective Monday, March 1st, 2021.

It is an offence, under section 122 of The Highway Traffic Act, to transport loads in excess of five (5) tonnes per axle upon roads where reduced loads are in effect.
