To ensure the City of Vaughan continues to provide clean and safe drinking water to residents and businesses, regular maintenance is required. Our water operators routinely perform preventive maintenance on our service lines. This maintenance is called “flushing and swabbing.” Over time, mineral and sediment buildup can discolour water and slow down its flow. Flushing and swabbing the watermains removes natural build-up of scale and sediments from water and assists in improving pressure, flow and potential water quality issues. This work ensures our continued commitment to superior service delivery and also keeps our infrastructure strong to extend its lifespan.
Prior to any watermain flushing or swabbing, the City will make every effort to notify affected residents and businesses in the area. It is important that you do not use water during this time as it may impact our work and could result in you receiving discoloured water as well the potential of damaging your water meter with debris. Please see the below dos and don’ts to answer any questions you might have.
