Filtration Plant and Water Network
The construction of the filtration plant is nearing completion
and its commissioning will take place in the next month.
During this commissioning, pressure variations will occur in
the water network and it is possible that deposits in the pipes will break free
and cause increased turbidity. To rectify this situation, please let your outside
hose (preferably) or your faucets flow for a few minutes. Unless advised to the
contrary, the quality of your water remains safe.
For citizens of the western sector (see
map), the pressure of the water service will increase by about 40 lbs. Houses
which have an old or fragile plumbing system should foresee the installation of
a pressure reducing valve. This equipment can be installed on your water intake
by a plumber.
In addition to the treatment plant coming on line, an intensive
pipeline flushing program will be carried out in early spring of 2010.
To take full advantage of the new water quality, we recommend
that you perform maintenance on your plumbing systems (water heater, toilet tank,
etc.) in order to get rid of all iron and manganese deposits in your system.
